The answer to your question is the letter D

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Regular price $59.95

discount = 20%

Process

1.- To solve this problem, use proportions, and cross-multiplication.

The regular price will be 100 %.

                $59.95 100%

                     x        20%

                     x = (20 x 59.95)/100

                     x = $11.99

2.- Subtract the previous result from the regular price

                $59.95

             - $11.99

                $47.96

3.- Conclusion

The sale price of the calculator will be $47.95
