16.80 - 16.80(0.20) = The cost of a 5-pound box of nails minus 20% of the cost of a 5 pound box of nails = the discounted price of a 5-pound box of nails.

I have practically already given you the answer. You just need to multiply on number, then subtract that number from another number. Calculator stuff.
