Explanation:

always remember that 100% is the whole.

so, 15% means 15/100 of the whole.

1/5 = 0.2 = 20/100 of the whole.

so, Target is taking 15/100 off the price.

Walmart is taking 20/100 off the price.

20/100 is bigger than 15/100, so Walmart deducts more off the price, and has therefore the lower and therefore better sale price.

Target sale price :

100/100 - 15/100 = 85/100 × 80 = $68

in short

80 × (1 - 0.15) = 80 × 0.85 = $68

Walmart sale price :

100/100 - 20/100 = 80/100 × 80 = $64

in short

80 × (1 - 0.20) = 80 × 0.80 = $64
