    18.75%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    I like to think of this as is/of = %/100

    If 65 IS a percent OF 80 then we set it up as:

    65/80 = %/100

    We are trying to find %.

    We need to find the number you multiply 80 by, to get 100 which is 1.25.

    Now multiply 65 by 1.25 to get your percent. You get 81.25 percent.

    Subract 100-81.25

    Now you have your answer of 18.75% discount.
