Answer:
1. $450
2. $128
Step-by-step explanation:
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
Your answer is $424.05
5,849 x 0.0725 = 424.05

If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
300 minutes equals five hours.
