Answer 1

1)

A 12$ case of soda is labeled, "get a 20% discount

i.e 20% 0f cost of sode = 20% of 12

`\begin{gathered} \text{ 20\% of 12=}(20*12)/(100) \\ \text{20\% of 12=}2.4 \end{gathered}`

Discount Amount = $2.4

The sale of soda = Labelled price - Discount amount

The sale price of sode = 12 - 2.4
