Answer 2

$37.50 base price, 20% decrease
37.50 * 0.2 (20%) = 7.5
37.50 - 7.5 = 30
This looks about right.

Answer 3

The discount is $7.5, forgot to add. Answer isn't 30, that'd be 80% discount

Answer 4

NVM! I mean it cant be C because its too big for "discount" and the other 2 are too low,! Thanks!

Answer 5

If it was asking for how much the discounted price was, it'd be $30.00, but it's asking for how much 20% of 37.5 is.

Answer 6

So its B?

Answer 7

It'd be A, as $7.50 is the discount, since it's 20% of $37.50

Answer 8

Thanks!
