There are several important information's already given in the question. Based on those given information's the answer to the question can be easily deduced.

Amount of discount = (20/100) * 28 dollars
                               = 28/5 dollars
                               = 5.60 dollars
So the amount of $5.60 will be taken off the regular price. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar type of problems without requiring any help from outside.
