Answer:

Best to worst: 30% off, $5 off, 1/5 off. Need an explanation? See below for fully worked out answer!

Explanation:

1/5 off of the hat:

1/5 of 20

20 divided by 5 equals 4

$4 would be taken off with this discount. 20-4=16. Therefore the hat would cost $16 at this store.

30% off of the hat:

20 times 30% = 20 times 0.30

20 times 0.30=6.

$6 dollars would be taken off of the hat. 20-6=14. Therefore, the hat at this store would cost $14.

$5 off of the hat.

20-5=15

The hat would cost $15 at this store.

Best to worst: 30% off, $5 off, 1/5 off.

I sincerely hope this helps you! Good luck on your test/homework you are completing!
