The $45 clock that's on sale. The deal is, it's 25% off its normal price. That means you get a discount - like a saving. For this clock, that discount turns out to be $11.25 from $45*0.25. Then, $45 - $11.25 = $33.75 So, after taking off that discount from the original price, you end up paying $33.75 instead of the full $45. That's what you'll get it for during the sale.
