Terrell finds that if he takes a cruise in July, it will cost $1200.

This is 25% less than if he took the same cruise in December

What is the cost of taking the cruise in December?

100% - 25% = 75%

75% = $1200

100% = ?

We cross multiply by 100 and divide by 75.

(1200 x 100) ÷ 75 = $1600

So, the cost of taking the cruise in December is $1600
