    To find the amount that was taken off the original price, multiply 42 by 0.20 (20% in decimal form).

    42*0.20 = $8.40 off the original price.

    So,

    We are trying to determine the amount of sale.

    Since the sale price is 20% off of $42, we just need to find 20% of $42.

    Find 10%.

    10% * $42 = $4.20

    Multiply that by 2 to find 20%.

    $4.20 * 2 = $8.40

    The amount off the original price is $8.40.
