Find the final sale price after these two discounts: Original price $65.00. Take 20% off, and then take $5 off that amount.

20% 0f $65.00 is $13

$13 - $5= $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 65.00.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$65.00=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=20\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$65.00=100\%(1)$.

$x=20\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{65.00}{x}=\frac{100\%}{20\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{65.00}=\frac{20}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=13$

Therefore, $20\%$ of $65.00$ is $13$
