I found a place that will give me a 20 percent discount if i spend over 50 dollars. My bill is 75 dollars. How much money will i save?

X of 20% = y

x - y = 75

x = total amount

y = discounted amount

x * 20/100 = y

x * 0.2 = y

replace y with 0.2x in other equation

x - y = 75

1x - 0.2x = 75

0.80x = 75

x = 75/.8

x = 93.75

Check:

93.75 * 20/100 = 18.75

93.75 - 18.75 = 75

x = 93.75

y = 18.75

Answer: Total amount without discount is $93.75

//BTW not sure about this, but kind of make sense
