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 16.00 times the decimal
16.00 x 0.2 = 3.20
The amount is $ 3.20
The discount
$16.00 - $3.20 = $ 12.80

'Shift' + '5' = %, btw...
20% of $16.00:
'of' means to multiply.
20% is 20/100,
so 20/100 * 16.00 = 3.20.
Now take $3.20 off $16.00 to get $12.80
cheers!
