Wow, someone else who I consider as stupid. At least this is probably homework, and you are in 6th grade. Anything else, and it's just sad.

since are you subtracting percentage instead of adding percentage, you use (1 - (p/100)) instead of (1 + (p/100))
P(1 + (p/100)) is used to find the price of something after tax
P(1 - (p/100)) is used to find the price of something after discount
so (1 - (20/100)) = 1 - (1/5) = 1 - .2 = .8
68.5 * .8 = $54.80
45.5 * .8 = $36.40
Thats not including the tax, only the discount.
