An item is wake regularly priced at $20 it was on sale for 55% off the regular price what is the sale price

20 * (1-.55) = ?

You actually did this question wrong. you are supposed to do 20 * .55 and then u get 11. After you get that you do 20-11 and you get 9. so when your done 9 should be your answer.

To find the sale price, first, calculate the discount amount by multiplying the regular price by the discount percentage:

Discount amount = Regular price x Discount percentage

In this case, the regular price is $20 and the discount percentage is 55% (or 0.55 as a decimal). Therefore:

Discount amount = $20 x 0.55 = $11

To calculate the sale price, subtract the discount amount from the regular price:

Sale price = Regular price - Discount amount

Sale price = $20 - $11 = $9

Therefore, the sale price of the item is $9.
