Answer 2

Discount: $4.2

Sale price: $16.8

Explanation:

To get the discount we should find what is 20% of the the toilet paper price $21.

To get 20% in decimal form we divide it by 100, so that we get: 0.2

Then 20% of $21 is: 0.2*$21 = $4.2

That is the discount.

Then to get the sale price of the toilet paper we take away the discount from the labeled price:

$21 - $4.2 = $16.8

That is the sale price.
