Answer:

0.000725 i think :)

Explanation:

Divide the number by 100 (move the decimal place two places to the left).

Multiply this new number by the percentage you want to take off.

Answer- 171.75
You multiply your original cost (229) by the percent it’s on sale for (.25) then you get $57.25. That is how much is being taken off of the original price so you would subtract 229 by 57.25 to get your answer of $171.75.
