Answer:

$148

Explanation:

Find 20% of the original price. You can either divide the number by 100 then times by 20 to get the answer. You can divide it by 10 then times by 2 or you can find the multiplier. What you do if you originally have 100%, then you have a 20% discount so then the price you pay is only 80% of the original price. So you times that number by 0.8 to get the answer. Hope this helps, have an amazing day!!
