Question

A boutique was having a 20% storewide sale.Erica bought 2 dresses which originally cost $80 each.How much savings did Erica enjoy?

Answer 1

Answer: $32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the boutique was having a 20% storewide sale and Erica bought 2 dresses which originally cost $80 each, therefore the sale for each dress will be:

= $80 - (20% × $80)

= $80 - (0.2 × $80)

= $80 - $16

= $64

Therefore, on each dress Erica saves $16. The amount of savings enjoyed will then be:

= $16 × 2

= $32
