Answer: It is $42.4
Step-by-step explanation: Multiply (0.20)(53), you get 10.6, now that's the price that is discounted, so subtract that from the total, to get $42.4. If you want to check your answer, do 42.4/53 and you would get 0.80, or 80%. That is what you should get since you have a 20% discount from 100% of a product.
Answer:
the sales price is $10.60
Step-by-step explanation:
to find 20% of 53, I multiplied 53 by 20 and 100 by a (i used the variable a to substitute for the answer we are going to get)
53 x 20 = 1060
100 x a = 100a
In order to get "a" we have to divide by 100 for each number.
1060 ÷ 100 = 10.6
100a ÷ 100 = a
in conclusion, a = 10.6, or $10.60 hope this helps :)
