Question

At a store, a hat has a regular price of a dollars. During a sale, the price of that hat is discounted by 20%.The expression 0.8x describes the discounted price in dollars of the hat?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Hi, the statement is correct.

If the regular price of a hat is "x", and it has a discount of 20%, to obtain the discounted price we have to multiply the original price (x) by 80/100.

Since 100% is the full price, we have to subtract the 20% percent discount:

100%-20%=80%

The hat discount price is 80% of the original price.

Decimal form of 80% =80/100= 0.8

Discounted price: x (80/100) = x 0.8

Answer 2

yes

Explanation:

Yes! If the sale is 20% off then you pay 80% of the price. This converts to 0.8x.
