What will be the total cost to purchase 25 badges at a price of $32 each after applying the 20% discount?

$800
$640
$790
$16

The correct answer is: $790

To determine the total cost to purchase 25 badges at a price of $32 each after applying a 20% discount, you first need to calculate the total cost before the discount. Multiply the number of badges (25) by the cost of each badge ($32): 25 badges x $32/badge = $800. Next, calculate the discount amount, which is 20% of the total cost. To find 20% of $800, multiply $800 by 0.20: $800 x 0.20 = $160. Now, subtract the discount from the original total cost: $800 - $160 = $640. Thus, the total cost after applying the 20% discount is $640. This demonstrates the correct approach for solving discount problems, ensuring a clear understanding of percentage calculations and their application in real-life scenarios.
