Answer:

60

Explanation:

So if you get 25% off, you're basically paying 75%.

So first, convert the percentage to a decimal:

75% = 75/100 = 0.75

Now just multiply the decimal by the total cost:

80$ (0.75) = $60

Answer:

you will pay $60

Explanation:

25% (1/4) of 80 is 20

subtract 20 from the total (80)

80 - 20 = 60

$60
