65 * 0.20 = ____
To calculate the amount of discount, we need to find 80% of the regular price.
First, let's convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
80% = 80/100 = 0.8
Next, we'll find 80% of the regular price by multiplying the regular price by 0.8:
Discount = Regular price * 0.8 = $65 * 0.8 = $52
Therefore, a discount of $52 is applied to the regular price of $65.
