Answer:
$6

Step-by-step explanation:
When finding percent discounts or percents of values, you can use this simple trick:
Move the decimal of the percentage to the left twice. For example, 20.00% becomes 0.2. Then, multiply that decimal by the original value (30).

30*0.2 = $6 discount

Hope this helps!
