Question

Find the total cost to the nearest cent. $25 pants; 20% off

Answer 1

$20.00

Explanation:

"$25 pants, 20% off" is equivalent to (1.00 - 0.20)($25), or:

0.80($25) = $20.00

This is the total cost to the nearest cent.

Answer 2

$20

Explanation:

Lets find the discount

25 * .2 = 5

You get $5 off

Price - discount = price you pay

25-5 = 20
