To find the price of the new jacket after a 20% discount, you need to subtract the discount amount from the original price.
Step 1: Calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage.
Discount amount = Original price x Discount percentage
Discount amount = $45 x 20% = $9
Step 2: Subtract the discount amount from the original price to find the price of the new jacket.
Price of new jacket = Original price - Discount amount
Price of new jacket = $45 - $9 = $36
Therefore, the price of the new jacket is $36 after a 20% discount.
