Steps:

Do 79.75 minus 14.85 which is 64.9

64.9 times 100= 6,490
6,490 divided by 79.75 is 81.379 Your answer is 81.379%

The discount amount is calculated by subtracting the sales price from the original price, which is $64.90. The discount percentage can then be calculated by dividing the discount by the original price and multiplying by 100, resulting in approximately 81.52%.
