    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 2 ways of looking at this problem

    Method A

    100% of the price is 598.00

    75% of the price is x

    So set up a proportion

    100/75 = 598/x Cross Multiply

    100x = 75 * 598 Simplify the right

    100x = 44850 Divide both sides by 100

    100x/100 = 44850/100

    x = 448.50

    Method Two

    The other way is just to take 25% from 598

    598 * 25/100 = 149.5

    That's the amount of the reduction

    598 - 149.5

    448.5

    Both answers work. You have to choose.
