To calculate the discount on the computer, we can use the original price and the percentage off.
1. Calculate the discount amount:
\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}\right)
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 800 \times \left(\frac{20}{100}\right)
\]
\[
\text{Discount} = 800 \times 0.20 = 160
\]
So, the discount on the computer is **$160**.
