Explanation:

Step1: Define discounted sandwich price

The original sandwich price is $x$, with 20% off, so the discounted price is $x - 0.20x = 0.80x$.

Step2: Set up total bill equation

Add the drink price to the discounted sandwich price, equal to the total bill.
$0.80x + 1.49 = 9.61$

Answer:

$0.80x + 1.49 = 9.61$
