Answer 2

Option a. $13.44

Explanation:

A hardware store sells a 5-pound box of nails for $16.80.

The store is having a 20% off sale on all items.

First we calculate 20% of $16.80

`(20)/(100)` × 16.80

= 0.20 × 16.80 = $3.36

Now we subtract the discounted amount from the selling price.

The sale price of one 5-pound box of nails = $16.80 - $3.36 = $13.44

The sale price of one 5-pound box of nails would be $13.44
