Answer:Hillary will pay $35.00 for softball glove, $20.00 for soft ball bat and $40.00 for cleats

Explanation:

Step 1

A percentage off of a price of an item is the amount that can be saved from purchasing that item, it can also be referred as a discount given on an item purchase.

Step 2 --- Calculation

Actual Price of Softball glove= $50

Discount= 50 x 30/100 = $15.00

Price to pay= $50 - $15.00 = $35.00

Actual Price of soft ball bat= $50

Discount= 50 x 60/100 = $30.00

Price to pay= $50 - $30.00 = $20.00

Actual Price of cleats= $50

Discount= 50 x 20/100 = $10.00

Price to pay= $50 - $10.00 = $40.00

Therefore, Hillary will pay $35.00 for softball glove, $20.00 for soft ball bat and $40.00 for cleats
