Mai Paid =$.16

If Regular Price is $.100; after the discount, its price is =100-20=80
If Regular Price is $.1; after the discount, its price is =80/100=0.8
If Regular Price is $.20; after the discount, its price is =20 xx0.8=16

$16

Explanation:

To find the discounted price, I do 100% - the Discount Rate times the Original Price.

So first,

100% - 20% = 80%

Then multiply 80% or 0.8 to 20 and you will get how much did Mai pay. So:

80% • 20 = 16

Mai paid $16.
