Answer:$14.40

Explanation:

if a pie is regularly $18 and the sale is 20% off you would multiply 18 by .2 so

18 x .2

18 x .2= 3.6

you would then subtract the $3.6 to get $14.40

To find the price,we can first find the value that has to be mulriplued after the discount:

20% off = 1-20% = 80% = 0.8

Thus we need to multiply the original price by 0.8:

18×0.8

=$14.4

Therefore you would need to pay $14.4 after the discount.

Hope it helps!
