Roger visted a ski and snowboard shop the other day to buy a new snowboard. The store said it was having a sale, today only. 20% off all new 2016 Burton Snowboards. Usually these snowboards cost $300 when they're not on sale. Roger told his friend John they are only $60 today. But John noticed Roger made a mathematical error when calculating his discount. What did Roger do wrong? Use proportions to show his mistake and find the real price of the snowboard.

$60 is the discount, not the price.
Really? That's it?
What would I have to do then to find the price?
sale price = list price - discount
