Step-by-step explanation:

At a store, a hat has a regular price of 'x' dollars. During a sale, the price of the hat is discounted by 20%. The expression 0.8x describes the discounted price, in dollars, of the hat. Which expression also describes the discounted price, in dollars, of the hat?

Hat Regular Price = $ x

Discount offered = 20 %

20% discount = (20/100)x = 0.2x

Discounted Price = Regular Price - Discount offered

=>Discounted Price =  x - 0.2x

x - 0.2x  also describes the discounted price, in dollars, of the hat
