3. You buy two shirts that are each on sale for 20% off. When you get to the cash register, the cashier says, “Decreasing the price of each shirt by 20% means decreasing the total price by 40%.” Do you agree or disagree with the cashier? Explain.

Agree. You buy two shirts each 20% off. 20•2=40 total. Therefore, 40% off the total price of the shirts.
