Answer 2

Answer:

$138.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The employee will get $46.31 off the purchase.

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 185.25 × 25/100

Discount = 185.25 x 0.25

You save = $46.31

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 185.25 - 46.3125

Final Price = $138.94
