to do equations like this they key is to not jump on the first number that the calculator outputs. Add together the percent that is going to be taken off the product, in this case 20% off is $16.40 and then the total after subtraction is $65.60. following that then multiply by .40 to get $26.24 and subtract that as well. the grand total is now $39.36
