Percentages can be found by dividing the partial value out of the total.
In this case we have a partial value of 86250 and the total of 115000.
86250/115000 = 0.75
Multiply that number by 100 to get the percent. 0.75 * 100 = 75%
So 86250 is 75% of the original total of 115000. However we want the percentage taken off the original price of the house.
100% is represented by 1, so if we subtract 0.75 from 1 we get our answer.
1 - 0.75 = 0.25 or 25%
