You pay $14.39 after a 20% discount of a $17.99 cost.

Explanation:

To get this result, you must first realize that

#20%=20/100=0.20#

To find 20% of $17.99 you multiply the discount amount from the original amount of $17.99

#0.20*$17.99 = $3.60#

Then you subtract this discount amount from the original,

#$17.99-$3.60 = $14.39#

That's all there is to it!
