sometimes it helps to write it out first with words then as an equation.
What is 80% of 151.25?
x = .80 * 151.25
go ahead and solve from there...

One valuable thing my math teacher taught me is that
"of"
usually means to multiply.
So multiply 80% and the total cost. (don't forget to change the percentage to decimal form)

Only you can show your own work. Do the multiplication, and show the steps.
