Answer:

Explanation:

Method 1: Subtract 20% from 100%, obtaining 80%, and then multiply the regular price ($600) by the decimal equivalent 0.80. We get $480 as the sale price.

Method 2: Calculate the amount of the discount by multiplying $600 by 0.20, obtaining $120. Then subtract this discount from the regular price, $600, obtaining $480.

Answer:

$480

Explanation:

multiply the normal price $600 by 20 then divide it by one hundred

the discount is $120

the sales price is subracting the discount of $120 from the original price of $600 then get $480 as the sales price.
