Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D

Explanation:

Data

Regular price $59.95

discount = 20%

Process

1.- To solve this problem, use proportions, and cross-multiplication.

The regular price will be 100 %.

$59.95 ------------------- 100%

x ------------------- 20%

x = (20 x 59.95)/100

x = $11.99

2.- Subtract the previous result from the regular price

$59.95

- $11.99

$47.96

3.- Conclusion

The sale price of the calculator will be $47.95
