Answer:

(n*80)/100=f

Explanation:

If it's multiple choice, I don't know the choices. I'd say:

n = number of dollars it costs:

f = final price

(n*80)/100=f

It will work for any given amount:

Let's say this item was 3 dollars.

Using the formula (n*80)/100=f where n is 3 in this situation we get:

(3*80)/100=f

240/100=f

f=$2.40

The final price of the item was $2.40 with a 20% discount.
