To find the sale price of the sweater after a 20% discount, first calculate the amount of the discount.
1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 35 \times 0.20 = 7
\]
2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price:
\[
\text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 35 - 7 = 28
\]
Thus, the sale price of the sweater is **$28.00**.
