Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer would be $91.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off of 120 is 96 and 96 - 5 is 91.

Answer:

$91

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 20% off of  $120 set it up as a fraction.

We are trying to find x.

x/120 = 20/100

Now you are going to cross multiply to get the unchanged/non-simplified version of you soon to be answer.

2400/100x

Simplify that to find how much you need to subtract from $120 when the discount is added.  2400/100 = 24. 120-24 = 96. Then subtract 5 from 96 and that will give you your final answer.
