Orginal price is 82$ the sales price is 65.60 what is the discount

You have to use the equation to find the sales price, but just put x as the discount. The number we find is not going to be the discount though. It’s gonna help us find it.
82x=65.6
65.6/82=x
X=.8
So, you can say he got the item for 80%, but I suggest saying is was a 20% discount. You are taking 20 percent of 82 and subtracting it.
82•.2=16.4
82-16.4=65.6
So it was a 20% discount.

Ithink it should be 55.
