Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the sale price after a 20% discount, we first calculate the discount amount: 20% of $30 is $6. Subtracting this discount from the original price gives us the sale price: $30 - $6 = $24, which is choice A. Other choices are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the discount. B, C, and D are all higher than the correct answer, indicating incorrect calculations.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 8 pounds and 8 ounces to kilograms, first convert pounds to kilograms (1 lb = 0.453592 kg) and ounces to kilograms (1 oz = 0.0283495 kg). So, 8 lbs + 8 oz is approximately 3.9 kg. Therefore, choice B (3.9 kilograms) is the correct equivalent. Choice A (3.6 kg) is too low, and choices C (17.6 kg) and D (18.7 kg) are too high based on the conversion rates.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation (5/4)x = 20, we first multiply both sides by 4/5 to isolate x. So, x = 20 * 4/5 = 16. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Option A, 8, is incorrect because x is not equal to 8. Option B, 24, and option C, 32, are also incorrect as they do not satisfy the given equation.
