Think of $60.0020% as 80%×60.00 so there is only one step.

80%×60.00=$48.00

Explanation:

if you need to find the price of purchase that is advertised as 20% off, you can reduce the suggested multiplication/subtract method a single step for a better chance of being correct.

If the item is 20% off, it also means you will be paying 80% to buy it. You also know the final price will be a little bit less than the original $60.00

Then you can multiply 8×6=48 and without a calculator arrive at the selling price of $48.00, which is a bit less than the $60.00.
