every three months you get a certain percent off clothing there.
lets say i spend like $122, and i got 20% off. how would i figure out the price with 20% tooken off.
i need like full detail steps that are simple. im not that great at math.

Alternatively, you can skip the subtraction and find 80% of $122.
You know that 100-20 equals 80, so that's the percentage that you'll actually be paying. Then, as said below, you multiply by that number as a fraction: 122 * 0.8 = 97.4 (not 96.4 as the person below me said--I suspect it was a typo).
Both ways are equally effective, I just prefer this one because there are fewer steps.

take 122 times .20 which equals 24.40 then subtract the 24.40 from the 122 which is 96.60.
basically all you do is take the total amount times the percent like 40% = .40 and 50%= .50 and so on and then you get a different total and take your first total and minus the one you just got and thats what you get off. i hope this makes sense!

you would right 122*.20 = $24.40
a really easy way to figure this out if you dont have a calculator/cell phone avaible is go to yahoo.com and just type in 122*.20 (the * is the equivalent of the xs sign)
hope i helped!

Take the amount times the percentage:
122 x .2 = 24.40
That is your discount. The amount your would owe would be 122 - 24.40 = 97.60

Take how much the item is;
Divide it by a hundred,
Multiply it by twenty.
Subtract it from the price.
So if a top is 36 dollars.
Dividing it by a hundred is 0.36.
Multiplying that by twenty is 7.20.
36 minus 7.20 is $28.80.
You can also use the percentage button on your calculator or cellphone.
For example, you can punch in 36 then (/) then 20 then (%). The answer will be 7.2 and you can subtract that from 36 which will equal 28.2.
