A cake at the bakery cost $6, but it was on sale for 20% off. How much would the discount be on the cake?

Answer 2

so first u want to understand that 20% off is equivalent to 0.8. then u can just mutiply 0.8 and 6 dollars together. then the solution will be $4.8. so total discount will be 6-4.8 which is $1.2
