Mr. Johnson is going to buy an 183 pound turkey for Thanksgiving. The turkey costs $2.80 per pound at the grocery store. If the grocery store runs a 20% discount on turkeys, how much will Mr. Johnson save (before taxes)?

10.22 is what he will save.

Step-by-step explanation: 18 3/4 x 2.80=51.1

51.1 x 20%=10.22

$102.48

Step-by-step explanation:

183 * 2.80 = 512.4 (cost before discount)

512.4 * 0.20 = 102.48

It's 20% off  100% of an item, and when calculating problems like this, use 1 to represent 100%. So you multiply the cost by 0.2 to get 20% of the cost.
