Two ways to do this:
(1) 20% can be written as 0.20. Twenty percent off means to take 20% of the price, and subtract it from the original price. 0.20 x $95 = $19 off. $95 - $19 = $76 final price.
(2) Since you are taking 20% off the original price, you need to pay only 80% of the original price (100% - 20% = 80%). 0.80 x $95 = $76 final price
