Jamie is buying a dress with a discount of 20%.

Question

Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

Answer 1

To find the discounted price of the dress, you first need to calculate the amount of the discount.

1. Calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} = 60 \times 0.20 = 12 \]

2. Subtract the discount from the original price to find the discounted price: \[ \text{Discounted Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 60 - 12 = 48 \]

Thus, the discounted price is 48.
