Dr. Star Blanket gives a 20% discount if his customers pay cash for their office visits. Determine the cost of a $65 office visit if the customer pays cash.

Change the 20% into a decimal and multiply it by the original price. You get $13, subtract that from 65 and you get 52. The answer is 52.
Hey,

According to the question Star Blanket will give 20% discount if customers pay cash for office visits. 

We know the customer has paid $65 for an office visit. So we will discount the amount by 20%. Discounting an item by 20% is the same thing as writing 80% of the item. So the solution will be
=65*80/100(80% of 65)
=65*4/5=52
Hope it helps
