Answer:

Final price would be $35.19.... discount is $8.80.

Soulution:

Replacing the given values in formula (a) we have:

Amount Saved = Original Price x Discount in Percent / 100. So,

Amount Saved = 43.99 x 20 / 100

Amount Saved = 879.8 / 100

Amount Saved = $8.8 (answer).

In other words, a 20% discount for a item with original price of $43.99 is equal to $8.798 (Amount Saved)
