To calculate the sale price of an item that is on sale for 75% off it's purchase price at $20 - we need to first convert 75% to it's decimal form. After we achieve this we need to multiply its decimal form by the price of the item ($20). Finally we need to subtract the value of 75% of $20 from $20.

Step 1) Determine the decimal value of 75%

- To convert from percentage to decimal we move the decimal two places to the left

- Original: 75.0 (the same as 75%)

- 1st Place: 7.50

- 2nd Place: .750

Step 2) Multiply the decimal form by the price of the item

- .750 x 20 = 15

Step 3) Subtract the value of 75% of $20 from $20

- $20 - 15 = $5.

So If you purchased an item valued at $20 and it was 75% off, you would pay only $5.

20% off of 75 dollars is 60 dollars. To find this, first find 10% of 75, which is 7.5. Double that number to get 20%, which is 15. So 20% of 75 is 15, and to find how much off that is all you have to do is subtract 15 from 75, which will give you 60.
