Answer:

$55.50

Explanation:

1. To find 25% off a price the easiest way would be to find 10% of it by dividing by 10 and then finding 5% by halving the 10%. However another method can be 74 x 0.25 = $18.50

2. Now to find that price off of $74 we need to subtract $18.50 from our price

74 - 18.5 = $55.50
