WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST PLEASE ADD THE REASONING PART!! A supermarket marks down the price of a $3.00 loaf of bread by 20%. What is the discount and the new price of the loaf of bread?

new price= $2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

20%= 20/100= 1/5

$3.00/5= 00.60

1/5 of the price is being subtracted from $3.00

$00.60 is 1/5

3.00-.60= 2.40

The discount is 20% off (you only have to pay 80% of the original price)

The new price of the bread is $2.40 (60 cents off)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 20 goes into 100, 5 times I did 3.00/5

3.00/5= 0.6

I added an extra zero (which didn't change the value) and that's it.

Hope this helps!

the thermometer is precise but not accurate
