Hey!

To find the discounted price for the leggings, we must find the percentage decrease betweem 72.64 and 54.58

{(54.58 - 72.64) / 72.64 ×100] = -25%

So, the skirt was discounted 25% off.

That means the leggings are discounted 25% off as well, so we must find 25% of 11.55:

11.55*25% = 2.8875

11.55 - 2.8875 = 8.6625

So, the discounted price of the leggings was $8.6625. You can round that to make it easier to understand.

And That's Your Answer!
