Answer:

$16,875

Explanation:

what you would have to do is find what 75% of the selling price of the car was before the discount was put on it, so that would look like this: 75% of 22,500 = 16,875

or you could've found 25% of 22,500 and subtracted it from that number like this: 25% of 22,500 = 5,625 22,500 - 5,625 = 16,875

i hope this helps :)
