Answer:

$40

Explanation:

Since you have a 20% discount, you are paying 80% of the original price.

80% of $50 is $40.

The selling price of the skateboard is $ 40.

Explanation:

Given,

The original price of the skateboard = $ 50

Discount = 20%

To find the selling price of the skateboard.

Formula

If the original price of an object is x and the discount is a%, the selling price will be a×(
(100-a)/(100))

So,

The selling price = $ 50 ×
(80)/(100) = $ 40
