Answer 1

To calculate how much Charlie paid for the pair of shorts after the 45% discount, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the amount of the discount: $$\text{Discount}=\text{Regular Price}\times \text{Discount Rate}=24\times 0.45=10.80$$

2. Subtract the discount from the regular price to find the sale price: $$\text{Sale Price}=\text{Regular Price}-\text{Discount}=24-10.80=13.20$$

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