You pay $14.39 after a 20% discount of a $17.99 cost.

To get this result, you must first realize that

$20 % = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20$ $20%=20/100=0.20$

To find 20% of $17.99 you multiply the discount amount from the original amount of $17.99

$0.20 \cdot $ 17.99 = $ 3.60$ $0.20*$17.99 = $3.60$

Then you subtract this discount amount from the original,

$$ 17.99 - $ 3.60 = $ 14.39$ $$17.99-$3.60 = $14.39$

That's all there is to it!
