Answer 1

Answer:

$28.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 20% of original price (original price = $48)

1. $48 = 100% --- divide both sides by 5 to reach 20%
2. 100% / 5 = 20% and $48 / 5 = $9.60
3. 20% = $9.60 (this is the price that Juan thinks is the price he should pay)

Find the price that the store is charging

1. $48 - $9.60 = $38.4
2. Store price (including the 20% discount)= $38.4

Find the difference in prices between Juan and the storre

1. subtract Juan from store price
2. $38.4 - $9.60 = $28.8
