Explanation:

If you had one dollar, what's 25% of it? 25-cents. You do that by taking the original value times .25. For one dollar, that's 25-cents. For $159, it's 159 x .25 = $39.75

To find the discount, take the regular price and multiply the discount percent

159 * 25%

Change to decimal form

159 *.25

39.75
