The answer is 11!

1- To get how much money taken off you would multiply the original price by the discount percentage:
44 x 0.75 = 33

2- Since that is the amount of money taken off you still need to subtract the discount from the original price to get the price of the footstool after the discount, then the answer to that equation is the solution to this problem:
44-33=11

3- Therefore, Barbara is going to pay $11 for the footstool after the discount:
answer= $11

Hope this helps! :)
