Answer 2

$4.49

Explanation:

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!
