A one-year subscription to a newspaper is offered with a 45% discount. How much does the discounted subscription cost if a subscription normally costs $80?

How much does a subscription normally cost? ** We calculate first the discount: 80 * 45 / 100 = $<<80*45/100=36>>36
How much does a discounted subscription cost? ** So, the discounted subscription amounts to 80 – 36 = $<<80-36=44>>44
