Change 20% to a decimal and multiply.
Yay! You've got it. She'd save $8.00.
To find out how much Mary would save if she buys the shirt that is 20% off, you need to calculate the discount amount.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 20% becomes 0.20.
Step 2: Multiply the original price of the shirt by the discount rate. $40 * 0.20 = $8.
Therefore, Mary would save $8 if she buys the shirt that is 20% off, not $2.
