Answer:

$2.40 or $77.55

Explanation:

I don't know if you are asking for how much off or what, so I'm doing both

First, we have to find how much we have to take off or what is 30% of 79.95 so our equation is:

79.95 x 0.03 = 2.40

So 30% of 79.95 is $2.40

To find how much our new price sale is, we have to take that $2.40 off so our equation is:

79.95 - 2.4 = 77.55

So our discount price is $77.55

hope this helps:)
