A pair of shoes has an original price of $65 but is on sale for a 20 percent discount. What number can you multiply by $65 to get the discounted price of $52?

A 20% discount means the sale price is 100% − 20% = 80% of the original price. Write 80% as a decimal: 0.80. Then $65 × 0.80 = $52, so the correct choice is 0.80.
