Question

Natalie wants to buy a shirt that costs $24. It is on sale for 20% off the original price. How much does she pay for the shirt? $19.20 $21.60 $26.00 $28.80

Answer 1

24*.2=4.8
24-4.8= $ 19.20

Answer 2

She pays $19.20

Explanation:

Given,

The cost price of the shirt = $ 24,

There is a 20% off,

So, the selling price of the shirt = cost price - 20% of cost price

`=24-20\%\text{ of }24`

`=24-(20* 24)/(100)`

`=24-(480)/(100)`

`=24-4.8`

`=\$ 19.2`
