    38.6%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given data

    Initial price = $17.95

    New price = $12.95

    price reduction = 17.95-12.95 = $5

    We can use the price reduction to calculate the percentage discount

    Hence

    Percentage discount =

    (price reduction / initial price) * 100

    (5/12.95) * 100

    = 0.03861*100 = 38.6

    Percentage discount = 38.6%
