Answer: I think it's 35%

With original price $160 and 35% discount,

Price after discount: $104.00

You saved: $56.00

The term discount can be used to refer to many forms of reduction in the price of a good or service. The two most common types of discounts are discounts in which you get a percent off, or a fixed amount off.

A percent off of a price typically refers to getting some percent, say 10%, off of the original price of the product or service. For example, if a good costs $45, with a 10% discount, the final price would be calculated by subtracting 10% of $45, from $45, or equivalently, calculating 90% of $45:

10% of $45 = 0.10 × 45 = $4.50

$45 – $4.50 = $40.50

or

90% of $45 = 0.90 × 45 = $40.50

In this example, you are saving 10%, or $4.50.

hope this helps, sorry if I'm wrong.
