To find the sale price of the jeans after a 30 percent discount, we first need to calculate the amount of the discount.
1. **Calculate the discount amount**:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}\right)
\]
Here, the original price is $29 and the discount percentage is 30%.
\[
\text{Discount} = 29 \times \left(\frac{30}{100}\right) = 29 \times 0.30 = 8.70
\]
2. **Calculate the sales price**:
\[
\text{Sales Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount}
\]
\[
\text{Sales Price} = 29 - 8.70 = 20.30
\]
Therefore, the sales price of the jeans is **$20.30**.
