Question

A tool that regulary sells for $18.50 is on for 20 % off what is the sale price?

Answer 1

18.50 times 20% equals 3.7 as 20%, so 18.50-3.7=14.8

Answer 2

so
20% of 18.50 = ____

to get this you multiply
20% is .20 in decimal form

18.50 x .20 = $3.70

so 20% is $3.70, which means the discount is $3.70

so then you subtract $3.70 from the original price of 18.50 and you get

$14.80 which is your answer (:
