Answer: 35%

Explanation:

- To start off divide 100% by the 20$ it began with, it should give you 5%

100/20 = 5

this means that every dollar is worth 5%

- now leaving that aside, subtract 20$ by 13$, it should give you 7$

2--13 = 7

the reason you do this is because since we're looking for the amount reducted, you have to subtract from the beginning amount.

- Finally, with the knowledge gathered, you multiply 5% by the 7$ that were deducted, it should give you 35%

7(5) = 35

The reason we did this is because every dollar is worth 5% and there were 7$ deducted, it results in 35% reduced.

Answer: 35%

Step-by-step explanation: I turned 13 and 20 into 13/20, or 13 out of 20 dollars charged. Then, I multiplied 13/20 by 5/5, which equals 65/100, or 65% or the original price was paid. The other 35% of the 20 dollars wasn’t, because that’s how much of the original price was discounted.
