A jacket originally priced at $\$80$ is on sale for $20\%$ off the original price. What is the sale price of the jacket?

\$64

To find the sale price after a

20\%

discount, calculate

20\%

of the original price (

0.20 \times 80 = 16

) and subtract it from the original price (

80 - 16 = 64

). Alternatively, multiply the original price by

(1 - 0.20) = 0.80

, giving

80 \times 0.80 = 64

Calculate the dollar value of the discount

\text{Discount} = 0.20 \times \$80 = \$16

20\%

discount means reducing the original price by

20

hundredths of its total value.

Subtract the discount from the original price

\text{Sale Price} = \$80 - \$16 = \$64

The final sale price equals the original price minus the discount amount.
