Find the sale price of a $64 jacket with a 20% discount, rounded to the nearest cent. Show your work.

Answer (2)

Well 20 goes into 100, 5 times so the discount would be 1/5 off. 64 divided by 5 is 12.8 and 64 minus 12.8 is 51.2, so the discount price is $51.20.

The sale price of a $64 jacket with a 20% discount is calculated by first finding the discount amount, which is $12.80. Subtracting this discount from the original price gives a final sale price of $51.20. Therefore, the jacket will cost $51.20 after the discount.
