Answer:

your discount would be 25

Explanation:

start, first subtract 45 from 60 to find the amount of money taken off from the discount:

60-45

=15

Because 15 dollars have been taken off the original price, you can find the percent of discount by setting up this proportion where x represents the percent of discount:

15/60=x/100

Now, cross multiply and solve for x:

1500=60x

x=25

Therefore, your discount would be 25%.
