Final answer:
Jake receives a 10% discount on an $80 shirt, which is $8 off. Subtracting the discount from the original price, he pays $72 for the shirt. option C is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jake buys a shirt marked at $80 and receives a 10 percent discount. To calculate how much he pays for the shirt, we first determine the amount of the discount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage. In this case:
Discount = Original Price x Discount Percentage = $80 x 0.10 = $8.
Next, we subtract the discount from the original price to find the discounted price Jake will pay:
Discounted Price = Original Price - Discount = $80 - $8 = $72.
Therefore, Jake pays $72 for the shirt.
To find out how much Jake pays for the shirt, we need to calculate the discount amount first. The discount is 10% of the original price, which is $80. 10% of $80 is $8. To calculate the final price that Jake pays, we subtract the discount amount from the original price: $80 - $8 = $72. Therefore, Jake pays $72 for the shirt.
