Answer 1

The store is offering a 20% discount on all sales over $50. If you purchase a shirt and a pair of jeans for $62.50, the amount of the discount you would receive is $12.50 , 62.50* 20% = 62.50*0.20 = $12.50

Answer 2

Discount = 20% of the product price
Discount = 20/100 × $62.50
Discount = $12.5
