Answer 2

Answer:

As per the given condition:

A new shirt costs $14.99.

If the shirt has a sale for $\frac{1}{5}$ off its price.

Now, we find how much you save on this shirt:

First find the $\frac{1}{5}$ of $14.99

i.e,  

$\frac{1}{5} \times \ 14.99 = \frac{\ 14.99}{5} =\ 2.998$

⇒ you have the discounted value is $ 3 .

You pay for the shirt is: $14.99 -$ 2.998 = $11.992

Therefore, you would save $2.998 or $ 3 in buying your new shirt.
