Step-by-step explanation

Step 1: We calculate 20% of $365. For this, we can solve the following rate:


\begin{gathered} (x)/(20\%)=\frac{\text{ \$}365}{100\%} \\ \text{ Multiply by 20\% from both sides} \\ \frac{x}{20\operatorname{\%}}*20\%=\frac{\text{\$}365}{100\operatorname{\%}}*20\% \\ x=\frac{\text{ \$}365*20\%}{100\%} \\ x=\text{ \$}(365*20)/(100) \\ x=\text{ \$}(7300)/(100) \\ x=\text{ \$}73 \end{gathered}

Step 2: We calculate the discount.


\text{ \$}365-\text{ \$}73=\text{ \$}292Answer

A 20% discount on a $365 purchase is $292.
