Shawna purchased a new laptop.  The sale advertised 25% off the regular price.  If the regular purchase price is $575.00, what was the amount of the discount she received?

575.00= 100% 575 divided by 100= 5.75 times 25= 143.75 So then 575.00 - 143.75 = 431.25 (the discount was 143.75, and her new total would be 431.25)
