Of: 26.99 * .20= 5.398
Off: 26.99 - 5.368 = 21.592

Of: 14.99 * .25 = 3.7475
Off: 14.99 - 3.7475 = 11.2425

I couldn't understand if you wanted of or off.

20% OF 26.99 is (.20)(26.99) = 5.398
20% OFF 26.99 is 26.99 - 5.398 = 21.592

You find the given percentage OF the number and then take that much OFF the number.

A quicker way is to understand that if you take 20% OFF, 80% is left, so just find 80% OF 26.99 = (.80)(26.99) = 21.592
