Answer: $71.20

Step-by-step explanation: 20% discount means 20% of the original price is subtracted from the original price, so to find 20% of the original price multiply 89 by 0.2 and you will get 17.8. Subtract the 17.8 from 89 and you get the answer, $71.20!

$89(0.20) = $17.8
$89-$17.8 = $71.20
