The usual price of football is 30$ at fair tom bought it at discount of 20% what was the selling price of football

If the usual price of the football is $30 and Tom bought it at a discount of 20%, then the discount amount is 20% of $30 which is (20/100)*$30 = $6.

Therefore, the selling price of the football after a 20% discount is $30 - $6 = $<<30-6=24>>24. Answer: \boxed{24}.
