Solve the following problem. Choose the correct answer. Sam's Discount Store offers a 2% discount for paying cash. How much would Joan pay if she pays cash for a set of skillets priced at $38.95? She would pay $ .

If you multiply 38.95 by 0.02, you will get the amount taken away from the total when the discount is applied:38.95x0.02=0.78
Then, you subtract that discount price from the total to get the amount Joan pays when she pays with cash:38.95-0.78=38.17
Joan pays $38.17 in cash.
