Answer 2

$40 is the sales price after a 20% discount.

(*Edited as the shoes are $50.00, not $60.00)

Explanation:

When calculating discounts, we can convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply by the original sales price:

`50(.20)`

Multiply.

`50(.20)=10`

Subtract your product from the sales price.

`50-10`

Subtract.

`50-10=40`
