What percentage was the discount?

Explain your reasoning.

I just need the reasoning - I already have the answer - please help me

(sorry i’m not gonna solve; word this however you want but this is the reasoning behind the answer) when you divide 84 by 72 you get {answer} and then move the decimal twice to the left and then convert it to a percentage
