Answer:

$20 - (14/100 * $20) = $17.20

Explanation:

The sale price can be calculated by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage (which is 14/100 since the price is discounted by 14 out of 100):


Sale price = Original price - Discount amount

= Original price - (Discount percentage * Original price)

= $20 - (14/100 * $20)

= $20 - $2.80

= $17.20


So, the expression that gives the sale price is:

$20 - (14/100 * $20) = $17.20
