Answer:

Options A, B and C are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost of each shirt.

As Lorenzo bought 3 shirts, so the cost of 3 shirts will be 3c.    

We have been given that the shirts are on sale for 20% off, so the total cost of three shirts after discount will be 3c minus 20% of 3c.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

\text{Total cost for the three shirts after the discount}=3c-(\frac{20}{100}\times 3c)

\text{Total cost for the three shirts after the discount}=3c-(0.20\times 3c)

\text{Total cost for the three shirts after the discount}=3c-0.60c

\text{Total cost for the three shirts after the discount}=2.40c

Let us see our given choices one by one.

A. 0.80(3c)

Upon simplifying our given expression we will get,

0.80(3c)=2.40c

Therefore, option A is a correct choice.

B. 3c−0.20(3c)

We have already seen that total cost of 3 shirts after discount will be 3c minus 20% of 3c and after simplifying our expression we will get,

3c-0.20(3c)=3c-0.60c=2.40c

Therefore, option B is a correct choice as well.

C. 3(c−0.20c)

Upon simplifying our given expression we will get,

3(c-0.20c)=3c-0.60c=2.40c

Therefore, option C is a correct choice as well.

D. 1.20(3c)

Upon simplifying our given expression we will get,

1.20(3c)=3.60c

Since total cost of 3 shirts after discount is 2.40c, therefore, option D is not a correct choice.
