Answer:

24% off

Explanation:

I found 25% off the sweater by doing 25 x .25 which gave me 6.25

If we subtract that from the original price, you get 18.75

We need $19, so we know the percentage has to be smaller than 25, but just barely.

Next I tried 25 x .24 which gave me 6.

25 - 6 = 19, so we know the percentage is 24%
