Answer:

$30.00

Explanation:

If the sale was 20%, that means the discount is 20% off the original price which was 100% of the original price.

100% - 20% = 80%

The sale price is 80% of the original price.

80% of $37.50 =

= 0.8 × $37.50

= $30.00

Answer:

ok so we have want to find the price at 80%

100-20=80

so

37.50*0.80=30

30 dollars

Hope This Helps!!!
