Answer 1

wouldn't it be B. since you would multiply $60.00 by .32 and the answer would be $19.2. Then you would do $60-$19.2 to get the answer.

Answer 2

thank you :)

Answer 3

Ok, let's look at this problem together.

Regular price is $60.00

The problem says

"32% off the regular price." = (32% / 100%) * regular price.

Now, you have the dollar that is discounted from regular price.

Now, you can find the estimated price by subtracting the discount from regular price.
