Find the amount when the base and percent are known
Amount = base x percent
Convert 20% to decimal
remove the % sign. Divide 20 by 100
20 / 100 = 0.2
Multiply 60 times the decimal
60 x 0.2 = 12
The amount is $ 12.00
12 is 20% of $ 60

20% of 60 dollars will be 20 X 60 /100 = 12 dollars. So the discount will be 12 dollars.

if the discount is 20% then you would pay 80%
amount discounted would be 20% of 60
.20 x 60 =12
amount paid would be 80% of 60
.80 x 60 = 48
that is a couple of ways to get the answers

20% of 60 = (20/100) * 60 = (1/5) * 60 = 12.
Percent (%) is just a fancy way to say "divided by 100"; this is helpful when working out percentage problems. See the source for more.

Break it down. Start with $10. 10 one dollar bills. one tenth, or 10% would be One dollar. Two tenths or 20% would be two dollars. Now that you understand that. Take six, ten dollar bills. Remove two tenths from each ten, or 2x6=12. 60-12=48.
Something that is $60 and is offered at a 20% discount, you would pay $48, a savings of $12.
