    30% discount

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The percentage change between two values can be found by ...

    percentage change = ((new value) / (old value) - 1) * 100%

    = (59.50/85.00 - 1) * 100%

    = (0.7 - 1) * 100%

    = - 30%

    A 30% discount was applied to the regular price.
