Answer:

Sale Price = $36

Explanation:

To find the sale price, you need to find what 10% of the original price is. 10% of $45 is $4.50. Now we need to find what 20% is, 20% is double 10% so we multiply the answer we got by 2. This equals to $9. The question is asking for the sale price, to find it you have to subtract $9 (the discount) from $45 (regular price). The answer you should get is $36.

Equation:
$45 ÷ 10 = $4.50
$4.50 × 2 = $9
$45 - $9 = $36
