$285.45

Answer 1

Answer: 95.15

Explanation:

Multiply 380.60 by .75 and you get 285.45 subtract 380.60 and 285.45 and you should get 95.15

Answer 2

Answer: 95.15

Explanation:

To find the answer, you have to multiply the original cost by the percent subtracted from 100. For example, 380.60 x .25=95.15

(I got the .25 from subtracting 100-75, and the 75 is the percent)
