    original -.20 * original = sales price

    original (1-.2) = sales price

    original*.8 = sales price

    total amount = sales price + sales price*.08

    total amount = sales price + sales price*.08

    total amount = sales price (1+.08)

    total amount = sales price (1.08)

    replace original price with p

    .8 p = sales price

    total amount =.8p (1.08)

    total amount =.864p
