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.
