Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways of looking at this problem

Method A

100% of the price is 598.00

75% of the price is x

So set up a proportion

100/75 = 598/x Cross Multiply

100x = 75 * 598 Simplify the right

100x = 44850 Divide both sides by 100

100x/100 = 44850/100

x = 448.50

Method Two

The other way is just to take 25% from 598

598 * 25/100 = 149.5

That's the amount of the reduction

598 - 149.5

448.5

Both answers work. You have to choose.
