Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount. The regular price of a shirt is $18. What is the discount price?

Answer with explanation:

Given, The regular price of shirt = $18

Since, Today, everything at a store is on sale. The store offers a 20% discount.

i. e. Discount percentage = 20% = 0.20 [ we divide percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal or fraction.]

Now, the discount price = (Discount percentage) x (regular price)

= (0.20) x ($18)

= $3.6

Hence, the discount price = $3.6

Discounted price of shirt = Regular price - discount price

= $18-$3.6

= $14.4

Thus, Discounted price of shirt = $14.4

20%=0.20

20% of 18 is 18 (0.2) = $3.6

$18-$3.6 = $14.4

the discount price is $14.4
