C Correct answer
Explanation

A 25% discount on £80 is 0.25 * 80 = £20. The amount paid is the marked price minus the discount: 80 - 20 = £60.

AI explanation

Use the discount amount formula to find the savings: Discount equals Marked Price multiplied by (Discount Percentage divided by 100). The discount is 80 multiplied by 0.25, which equals 20. The final amount paid by Sharon is the marked price minus this discount amount, so 80 minus 20 equals 60. Sharon paid 60 for the doll house.
