If a shirt originally costs $50 and is on sale for 20% off, what is the sale price?

A. $30
B. $40
C. $50
D. $25

The correct answer is: B. $40

To find the sale price of the shirt after applying the 20% discount, first determine the amount of the discount. Starting with the original price of the shirt, which is $50, calculate 20% of this price. This is done by multiplying the original price by 0.20: \[ \text{Discount} = 50 \times 0.20 = 10 \] Now, subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price: \[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Discount} = 50 - 10 = 40 \] Thus, the sale price of the shirt after the 20% discount is $40. This process involves understanding how to apply a percentage discount to a given price, leading to the correct calculation of the final sale price.
