There's nothing wrong with it when it is a single digit number, but whenever I change Discount to any type of decimal it just goes to 0
What is the type of Discount?
Int
Should the variable be set to double?

Ah
What should I set it to, if anything?
If you don't care about a bit of rounding error, float. Otherwise decimal
Thanks man, I really appreciate it

try using casting to decimal
Ex: decimal number = (decimal)integer * 0.8m;
