    You can do this one of two ways:

    final cost = original cost - discount

    final cost = $45 - ($45)(25%)

    final cost = $45 - ($45)(0.25)

    final cost = $45 - $11.25

    final cost = $33.75 (plus applicable sales tax)

    or

    final cost = original cost (100% - discount)

    final cost = $45 (100% - 25%)

    final cost = $45(75%)

    final cost = $45(0.75)

    final cost = $33.75 (plus applicable sales tax)

    Best of luck!

    25% is 1/4.

    You'll save $11.25

    Final price will be $33.75

    Or you can reallize that the new amount is 75% of the original.

    0.75 * 45 = $33.75

    Same answer either way.
