$24, how much did Charlie pay?

Answer 1

To find out how much Charlie paid for the pair of shorts, first calculate the discount amount:

1. Calculate the discount:
   \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} \] \[ \text{Discount} = 24 \times 0.45 = 10.80 \]

2. Calculate the sale price:
   To find the sale price, subtract the discount from the regular price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} \] \[ \text{Sale Price} = 24 - 10.80 = 13.20 \]

Therefore, Charlie paid $13.20 for the pair of shorts.
