Answer:

The coupon gets you 25% off the usual sales price.

Explanation:

First find the discount. Subtract $742.50 from $990, obtaining $247.50.

Determine what percentage this $247.50 discount is of the original price:

$247.50

----------------- = 0.25

$990

The coupon gets you 25% off the usual sales price.
