Answer: $264

Steps:
1. Change 20% into a decimal. by moving decimal two places to the left.
.20

2. 330 * .20 = 66
20% of 330 is 66 meaning $66 will be discounted from the tv’s original price.

3. 330 - 66 = 264

330 - original price of tv
20% (.20) - discount
264 - price of tv after discount

Equation used to solve: 330 - (330 * .20)
