Answer 2

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
