Hello!

Discounts! I struggle myself with these, but a common method can help you find the price.

First, we'll subtract 45.56 from 75.99, to get our discount factor.

75.99 - 45.56 = 30.43

Now, we have to figure out the percentage of said factor. How much of 75.99 is 30.43. We must divide discount factor by original number.

30.43 ÷ 75.99 = 0.40044742729306 which would be equal to 40.044742729306%

Lastly we round 40.044742729306% to the nearest whole percent.

Our final answer is: 40%
