To find the sales price of the jeans after a 30% discount, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the amount of the discount:
- Original price = $29
- Discount = 30% of $29
- Discount amount = 0.30 × $29 = $8.70
2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sales price:
- Sales price = Original price - Discount amount
- Sales price = $29 - $8.70 = $20.30
Thus, the sales price of the jeans is **$20.30**.
The correct answer is **C. $20.30**.
