Ok this is the simple way because the first step can be done in your head. Do the subtraction first, not after you multiply. It's almost like doing the problem in one step.
100%=1
20%=.2
1-.2=.8
.8*26=$20.80

10% of the 26.00 would be 2.60 and 20% = 2.60*2 = 5.20
Therefore, if they give 20% off, you deduct 5.20 out of 26.00, which would be $20.80.
Answer: $ 20.80

On the other hand if the sale price is 26% the original price is as follows:
X - 20X/100 = 26
80X/100 = 26
8X/10 = 26
X = 260/8
X = $ 32.50

20.80: Twenty per cent means twenty of one hundred - that's where the 'cent' comes in. Twenty of 100 is one fifth. One fifth of 26.00 is 5.20 - that is the discount. Therefore the special price is 20.80............... (never panic, it's simple)...........

$26.00 minus $5.20 (20% of $26.00) = $20.80

20% of 26 is $5.20
26.00
x .2 (20%)
---------
5200
then move the decimal over 3 places to the left.
5200 = 5.20
26.00 - 5.20 = 20.80
