Horizontal distance traveled by a package dropped from a plane at 75 m/s and 45 m height

Welcome to PF.

What are your thoughts on how to approach the problem?

 

[Falcon4]

I don't know I really can't even figure out where to start.

Start maybe with figuring out how long it takes to fall?

If you know that then maybe you can figure out from the horizontal speed how far along it hits the ground?
