Correct Answer: D

Rationale

Choice D is correct. It’s given that the original price of the jacket has been reduced by 20%. Multiplying the original price, $50, by 20% gives the amount, in dollars, that the price of the jacket is reduced by: $50 times point 2 0, equals 10$ . Subtracting this value from the original price results in the sale price of the jacket: $50 dollars minus 10 dollars$ , or $40.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect and may result from a conceptual or calculation error.
