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.
