Answer:
0.8X = Final cost
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that jeans are on sale for 20% off the regular price, to determine which function would give you the total cost for purchasing a pair of jeans that costs X dollars, the following calculation must be performed:
1X = Initial cost of the jeans
20% = 0.2
1 - 0.2 = 0.8
0.8X = Final cost
There are 2 ways to turn a number into a percent...
(1) move the decimal 2 spaces to the right....0.3 = 30%
(2) multiply by 100....0.3 x 100 = 30%
