How do you figure out the percentage off a price, for example I wanna know how much would something cost if it was $65.99 and it is 45% off?
"Sale price" = "Original price" - "discount"
"Sale price" = 65.99 - (.45 * 65.99)
"Sale price" = 65.99(1 - .45)
"Sale price" = 65.99(.55)
"Sale price" = $36.29
