Take 20% of $84 to get...

20% of 84 = (20/100)*84 = 0.20*84 = 16.80

So you will save $16.80 and the final price will be 84 - 16.80 = 67.20

Answers:

What is the discount? $16.80 (this is the amount you save, ie the amount you don't spend)

What is the sale price? $67.20 (this does NOT include taxes)
