A department store is having a sale of 20% off of all kitchen appliances what is the sale price for a $250 microwave?

Respuesta :

Answer:

300 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

250 x 0.2= 50

250 + 50=300

so the sale price is 20% off the regular price, since 20% + 80% = 100%, the sale price will be 80% of the regular price.
