may be the question is wrong, forget it.
To find the amount of discount and the sale price, follow these steps:
1. Calculate the amount of discount:
- The dress is on sale at a discount of 30%.
- Convert 30% into decimal form by dividing it by 100: 30 / 100 = 0.30.
- Multiply the regular price by the discount percentage to find the amount of discount: 78 * 0.30 = 23.40.
2. Calculate the sale price:
- Subtract the amount of discount from the regular price to get the sale price: 78 - 23.40 = 54.60.
Therefore, the amount of discount is $23.40, and the sale price of the dress is $54.60.
