Here, we want to get the amount paid for what was bought by Martin

The total amount spent before the discount will be;

[tex]155\text{ + 44 = \$199}[/tex]

At a 20% discount, the actual amount paid will be;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 20\text{ \% of \$199} \\ =\text{ }\frac{20}{100}\times\text{ 199 = \$39.80} \\ \text{Amount paid will be;} \\ 199\text{ - 39.8 = }159.20 \end{gathered}[/tex]
