D.

LOL.
0.2 * 40 = $________ saved
8!The answer is B!
rong it is a
59 because half of 78 is 59
I'm sorry, but that is not correct. Half of 78 is 39.
Of course! To find out how much money Angela is saving on the dress, we need to calculate 20% of the original price.
Step 1: Calculate 20% of $40
To calculate 20% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.20 (which is the decimal equivalent of 20%). So, 20% of $40 can be found by multiplying $40 by 0.20:
20% of $40 = $40 * 0.20 = $8
Step 2: Determine how much Angela is saving
Since Angela is buying the dress at a 20% discount, we know that she is saving $8.
Therefore, Angela is saving $8 on the dress, which corresponds to answer choice B.
