A store has a 20% off sale on pants. The price of the pants before the discount was $48. What was the sale price of the pants?

$38.40

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of $48 is 9.60

48- 9.60= 38.40

$38.40

Step-by-step explanation:

1. convert the percentage into a decimal by dividing x/100.

         20/100 =  0.2

2. multiply by the original price.

         0.2 * 48 = 9.6

3. subtract the discount.

         $48 - $9.60 = $38.40

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
