Answer 11

help 12.60 is not on there

Answer 12

OK so we must start with is 60 - (60*20%)

Because we are trying to find the cost of the shoes after the discount first

Answer 13

So, do you know how to solve 60 - (60*20%)?

Answer 14

20% = 0.2

So we can do this instead 60 - (60*0.2)

Answer 15

oh no 60*(1-20/100) first

Answer 16

48*(1+5/100)

Answer 17

50.4

Answer 23

Answer 24

Correct :) Sorry for my misunderstanding

$48 + ($48*5%) = $50.40
