a jacket originally sold for $45. this week it went on sale for 20% off. what is the discount and what is the sales price?

discount = 9

new price = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is the price times the discount percent

45 * 20%

Change to decimal form

45*.20

9

The new price is the original price minus the discount

45-9 = 36

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
