Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of $40

= [tex]\frac{20}{100}[/tex] × $40

= 0.2 × $40

= $8

$8 is discounted from the regular price

Answer:

$8 off

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from a percentage to a multiplier by dividing by 100:

[tex]\frac{20}{100}=0.2[/tex]

Then multiply that by the price:

[tex]40*0.2=8[/tex]

meaning the item is $8 off.

You can confirm that like so:

[tex]\frac{8}{40} =0.2\\[/tex]

or 20%
