Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how much was discount from the regular price as follows

1148.52 - 723.57 = 424.95

So, 424.95 is the amount discounted. Now, we can calculate the discount percent as


(424.95)/(1148.52)*100=0.37*100=37\text{ \%}

Therefore, the answer is 37%
