    Answer: 5%

    Step-by-step explanation: In order to calculate the percentage of the discount we need to first calculate the amount of the discount.

    $47.26 - $44.90 = $2.36 discount amount

    In order to calculate the percentage of the discount you must divide the discount amount by the original cost.

    $2.36 / $47.26 =.0499 = rounded off to a 5% discount
