Answer:1.20$

Explanation:

so with some problems like this what you can do is multiply the numbers you’re given especially with percentages this makes it really easy to solve all you need to do is multiply the 6$ and the 20% by making the 20% into a decimal and for this problem the 20% would be 0.2. and after you’ve done that you multiply the 6$ with 0.2 and you should get your answer
