Explanation:

What is on sale for 20% off, you would for example have 100% and subtract that 20% of 100%.

100% - 20% = 80%

After that make it as a decimal. To do that all you have to do is move the 80% two decimals to the left. It will give you 0.80.

Then with that 0.80 times it with the regular price, which is 70$.

0.80 x 70 = 56$

Your answer should be 56$. That is going to be your sale price.

We first figure out how much is no sale which is 70 x 0.2 = $14.

Then we can just subtract. 70 - 14 = $56

Answer: 56
