You posted the reference with the answer, but still don’t know?
Ok I’ll help...
FAR 61.159(b):
“(b) A person who has performed at least 20 night takeoffs and landings to a full stop may substitute each additional night takeoff and landing to a full stop for 1 hour of night flight time to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of this section; however, not more than 25 hours of night flight time may be credited in this manner.”
You have 45 night landings, and number over 20 can be counted as one hour. You can credit 25 hours of night time, you only need 16. This would suffice.
There are word problems on the FAA written test that will require simple arithmetic such as this...FYI
