Answer 2

24.99

Explanation:

We first must figure out the current price of the jacket, we need to multiply the original price (124.95) times .80 (1.00 - .20). Doing so we get a total of 99.96. In order to find the savings, we subtract the original price by the new price. 124.95-99.96 = a savings of 24.99
