A department store has a discount on all shirts based on a percentage of the price. Suppose one shirt is marked down from $60 to $45. What is the price for a $80 shirt after the same discount is applied?

45 is 75% of 60

that means the discount is 25% off

80 x 0.25 = 20, or 20 is 25% of 80

80 - 20 = 60

therefore the price of the shirt would be $60 after the discount is applied <3
