Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 1.75 would be 0.35, do the math, you get 1.40, so the price this week is 1.40$

Part 2 if were using the hint, the percent (20%) in decimal, 20, so it would be 1.75 x 20, which is 35, UNLESS were talking about the new cost, 1.40, so it would be 1.40 x 20 which is 28
