A jacket is regularly priced at $50. The store is offering a 20% discount on the jacket. What is the price of the jacket after the discount?(1 point)

Answer 1

To calculate the price of the jacket after the discount, first find the amount of the discount:

1. Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 50 \times 0.20 = 10 \]

2. Subtract the discount from the regular price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Regular Price} - \text{Discount} = 50 - 10 = 40 \]

Therefore, the price of the jacket after the discount is $40.
