Answer 1

Well 20% is the amount that will be taken away correct?

yeahhh.

Answer 4

okay so the cost that will be payed is 80%, because 20% is taken away. Do you get that part?

Answer 5

\(\bf {\color{brown}{ 20}}\%\ of\ 9.75 \implies \cfrac{{\color{brown}{ 20}}}{100}\cdot 9.75\implies {\color{brown}{ 20}}\div 100\cdot 9.75\)

Answer 9

4/5 is 80% so yes the answer is B.
