If bananas are $5.99, we need to find 75% of the price, or 25% off. There are two ways we can do this, I'll show the more detailed way. First, we multiply 5.99 by .25 to find 25% of it. We got ~1.50. This means that 25% of 5.99 is 1.50. Now, we take away 1.50 from 5.99. This gets us $4.49. That means the price of the bananas with the discount is $4.49. The other way we can do this is multiply 5.99 and .75 (because 25+75=100). This gets us 4.4925, which rounds to $4.49. I hope this helps!
This construction shows how to draw the perpendicular bisector of a given line segment with compass and straightedge or ruler. This both bisects the segment (divides it into two equal parts, and is perpendicular to it. It finds the midpoint of the given line segment.
