Hey there!

To start, first subtract 45 from 60 to find the amount of money taken off from the discount:
60-45
=15

Because 15 dollars have been taken off the original price, you can find the percent of discount by setting up this proportion where x represents the percent of discount:
15/60=x/100

Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
1500=60x
x=25

Therefore, your discount would be 25%.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)

The percent discount is 25%

The first step is to calculate the difference between the original price and sales price

= $60-$45

= $15

let y represent the percent discount.

Therefore the percent discount can be calculated as follows

difference in price/original price= y/100

difference in price= 15

original price= 60

15/60= y/100

cross multiply

60y= 1500

y = 1500/60

= 25

Hence the percent discount is 25%
