Answer:

$1.20

Explanation:

if the donuts normally cost 12 dollars, but they are on on sale for 10% off, then all you have to do is divide 12 by 10.

12 ÷ 10 = 1.2

since we are working with money, we need to add a 0 at the end to make it 1.20, since you need 100 cents to make a dollar.

another way you could write the equation is,

10% × 12 = 1.2

1.2 = 1.20

hence, the sale price for the donuts is $1.20
