To determine the sale price of a sweater originally priced at $80 after applying a 25% discount, you start by calculating the amount of the discount.

First, find 25% of the original price. You convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply it by the original price:

[ 25% = 0.25 ]

[ 0.25 \times 80 = 20 ]

This means the discount is $20. To find the sale price, subtract this discount from the original price:

[ 80 - 20 = 60 ]

Therefore, the sale price of the sweater after the discount is $60. This makes option B the correct answer, reflecting the calculation accurately. Other prices listed do not align with the calculated result based on the percentage discount given.
