Answer:

reduced by 20% so that means it is going to be 20% cheaper. You need to take off 20% of $60

20% is 0.2

of in math ALWAYS means multiply

0.2 X 60 = 12

You get 12 off

60 - 12 = 48

the new price is $48.00

Here is another way. You get 20 % off and that leaves 80% that you have to pay.

80% of 60

= 0.8 x 60

= 48

You pay $48.00

Evaluate:-|137|+|13|

pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer is 150

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you mean with the numbers between the "I's" is absolute value. Any number is just that number, so the absolute value of -6, is 6. The absolute value of 24 is 24. That means it's simply 137+13, which is 150.
