If the regular price of a shirt is $56.9 and it is on sale for 20% off, what is the sale price of the shirt? (Do not include the dollar sign ($) in your answer. Round to the nearest hundredth.)

Answer 1

To find the sale price of the shirt, we first calculate the amount of the discount and then subtract that from the regular price.

1. Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 56.90 \times 0.20 = 11.38 \]

2. Subtract the discount from the regular price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} = 56.90 - 11.38 = 45.52 \]

Thus, the sale price of the shirt is \( 45.52 \).
