The price of the sofa is $750.

To solve, you have to subtract 25% of the original price from 1,000. To do this, convert 25 to a decimal by dividing 25 by 100 and mulitplying by 1,000. The product will be the amount taken away from the original price of $1,000. Then, subtract this number from the original price to get the reduced price of the sofa.

25% = 25 / 100 = .25

.25 x 1,000 = 250 (amount reduced)

1,000 - 250 = 750

So, the reduced price of the sofa is $750.
