  1. $120.00\$120.00Answer
  2. B
    $130.00\$130.00
  3. C
    $30.00\$30.00
  4. D
    $147.00\$147.00

Answer

$120.00\$120.00
The final sale price is determined by first finding 20%20\% of the $150.00\$150.00 regular price, which equals $30.00\$30.00. Subtracting that $30.00\$30.00 discount from the regular price gives the final price of $120.00\$120.00.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Calculate the dollar amount of the discount.
20%×$150.00=0.20×150=$30.0020\% \times \$150.00 = 0.20 \times 150 = \$30.00
To find the amount saved, convert the discount percentage to a decimal and multiply it by the regular retail price.
2
Subtract the discount amount from the regular retail price.
$150.00−$30.00=$120.00\$150.00 - \$30.00 = \$120.00
The final sale price is the original price reduced by the calculated discount amount.
