    Answer: The discount is $3.60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the price of the baseball cap (17.99) by the discount percentage in decimal form (0.2)

    Mathematically speaking:

    17.99 x (20/100) = 17.99 x 0.2 = 3.598 = $3.60

    The value of the discount is $3.60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ralf is looking for a new baseball cap that his favorite team's logo on it and then finds one that normally sells for $17.99 on sale at 20% off.

    We are to find the discount to the nearest cent. This will be:

    Selling price = $17.99

    Percentage off = 20%

    Discount = Percentage off * Selling price

    = 20% * $17.99

    = 20/100 * $17.99

    = 0.2 * $17.99

    = $3.598

    To the nearest cent, it will be

    $3.598 = $4

    The discount is $4 to the nearest cent.
