Question

A. 12$.
B. 30$.
C. 36$.
D. 40$.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 40$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is the difference between original price and discount.

The discount can be calculated by taking 20% of original price.

Discount=20% of original price= (20/100)*50=0.2*50=10

Discount=$10

Sale price=Original price - Discount price

Sale price=50-10=40

Sale price=$40

The sale price of a jacket is $40.
