Answer:

$21,885.5

Explanation:

84.5% of 25,900 =

0.845 * 25,900 =

21,885.5

Because it says that the car is on sale for 84.5% of it's original price means that that is the price of the car.

If it had said that the car was 84.5% off, we would have had to subtracted 21,885.5 from 25,900, however, it didn't so it's ok.

Hope that this helps, have a good day/night and good luck!
