Answer:

75% is the percent of which jack payed

Explanation:

You can find this out by googling it, or even just using the elimination too. Right away 25% sounded way too low and if you look it up it says that its $68

instead of $186.75. And it can't be any higher than 100% because 186.75 is lower than 249, so that means that 75% is the only reasonable answer

25% is the Answer

$249-186.5 = 62.25
25% of 249 = 62.25
249- 62.25 = $186.25
