Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

To begin solving this problem we need to change the percent into decimal form. We can do this by moving the decimal point 2 digits to the left like so...

80.0%   ⇔   0.80

Now that we have the percent in decimal form we can find how much the customer paid by multiplying the percent by the retail price.

Now that we have the amount the customer paid, we can subtract that value by the retail price of the model to calculate how much the customer saved.

Finally, we can see that the customer saved $6,167.20
