Answer:

$33

Explanation:

The sale price is a reduction of the original price of the sweater.

Given that the sweater is now sold at 75% of the original price, this represents a 25% reduction of the original price.

As such, the sales price of the sweater is

= 75% of $44

= .075 × $44

= $33

The sales price is $33.
