Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the original price of the shoes, which is given as \$80.
Convert the discount percentage to a decimal by dividing 25% by 100, so 25\% = 0.25.
Calculate the amount of discount by multiplying the original price by the decimal discount: \(80 \times 0.25\).
Determine the sale price by subtracting the discount amount from the original price: \(80 - (80 \times 0.25)\).
Express the discount amount and the sale price clearly as your final answers.
