An item is regularly priced at $35. Chang bought it at a discount of 80% off the regular price. How much did Chang pay?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = sale price


(Original Price) - (80% of Original Price) = Sale Price

35 - 0.80*35 = x

35 - 28 = x

7 = x

x = 7


He paid $7
