Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The stereo system costs $256.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of the stereo system = $320.  

The discount Zenaida received = 20%.  

To Find:

Cost of the stereo system after the discount=?

Solution:

Step1:  Finding the discount amount:

Discount percentage =20

Discount amount = original cost × discount percent

Substituting the values,

$\text { Discount amount }=320 \times 20 \%$

$\text { Discount amount }=320 \times \frac{20}{100}$

$\text { Discount amount }=320 \times \frac{1}{5}$

$\text { Discount amount }=320 \times 0.2$

$\text { Discount amount }=64$

Step 2: Removing the discounted amount from the original price

Final cost of the stereo system =original cost of the stereo system –discount amount

Substituting the values we get,

Final cost=320-64

Final cost=256

Result:

Thus the cost of the stereo system after discount is $256
