Assuming the question asks for the discout amount:

To find the discount percentage, you would basically:

• find the lessened amount from original

,

• take that amount, divide by original

,

• multiply that decimal by 100 to get the percentage discount

Lessened amount = 721.24 - 576.99 = $144.25

Now, discount (in decimal):

144.25/721.24 = 0.20

0.20 * 100 = 20

The discount is 20%
