Answer 1

He will pay $138.94.

Explanation:

We know he gets a 25% discount, which means we have to:

1. multiply 185.25 by 0.25 (which is 25% in decimal form)
2. Afterwards we get approximately 46.31
3. Next, we subtract 46.31 from 185.25
4. Finally, we get (approximately) 138.94.

Therefore, he will pay a total cost of $138.94.

Hope this helps!
