$120

Step-by-step explanation

remember


75\text{ \% =}(75)/(100)=0.75

it means you can find 75 % of any value, just by doing th product of the number and 0.75


\begin{gathered} 160\cdot0.75=120 \\ \end{gathered}

Hence, 75% is $120 ,

the discount is 120,the new price is 40

the money you save is the difference, it is 120

I hope this helps you
