Answer: 14.29 or rounded up to 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

525 - 450 = 75

You need at least $75 off the price to have enough money.

75/525 = x/100

Solve for X

75 * 100 = 7500

7500/525 = 14.2857143

If answer should be a whole percentage you would need the discount to be 15% in order to not fall short on funds.
