Answer:

0.80x dolllars

Step-by-step explanation:

20% discount of the total amount is

0.20 * x dolllars

So if you start with x dollars you need to subtract the discount to get the new (lower ) price.

x - (0.20 * x) dolllars

1* x - 0.20 * x

x * 1 - 0.20 * x

x * ( 1 - 0.20 )

x * ( 0.80 )

0.80x dolllars
