Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the sale price, we need to multiply the original price by the discount percentage and subtract the result from the original price:

Sale price = $64 - 20% of $64
Sale price = $64 - 0.20 x $64
Sale price = $64 - $12.80
Sale price = $51.20

Therefore, the sale price is $51.20, which is closest to option C. To find the sale price, we need to subtract 20% of the original price from the original price. 20% of $64 is $12.80, so the sale price would be $64 - $12.80 = $51.20. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
