Answer 2

Correct answer:

$13

Explanation:

To find the sale price we can set up a proportion. 80/100 = x/65. We keep the 100 and 65 both on the bottom of the fraction since they represent the "whole". x represents the discount off the full price of the dress. To solve this proportion, we cross multiply, yielding

65* 80 = 100x. Then, cross multiplying we get x = 52.

Then we subtract this discount from the original price yielding 65 – 52 = 13,

thus, she paid $13 for the dress.
