Answer 2

Number that you can multiply by $65 to get the discounted price of $52 is:

0.80

Explanation:

A pair of shoes has an original price of $65 but is on sale for a 20 percent discount.

Then, discounted price=
`(100-20)/(100)* 65`

=
`(80)/(100)* 65`

= $ 0.80×65

= $ 52

Hence, number that you can multiply by $65 to get the discounted price of $52 is:

0.80
