Answer 1

Ethan Adkins

You pay $14.39 after a 20% discount of a $17.99 cost.

To obtain this outcome, you must first understand that

#20%=20/100=0.20#

To find 20% of $17.99 you multiply the discount amount from the original amount of$ 17.99

#0.20*$17.99 = $3.60#

Next, you deduct this amount of the discount from the initial,

#$17.99-$3.60 = $14.39#

It's as simple as that!
