If an item is sold for $450 but thf

the person who sold it wants $ r
75 what % is that person taki
ng out of that $450?

To find out what percentage the person is taking out of the $450, we need to calculate the difference between what the person wants ($75) and the original amount ($450).

Step 1: Calculate the difference
Subtract the desired amount ($75) from the original amount ($450):
$450 - $75 = $375

Step 2: Calculate the percentage
To calculate the percentage, divide the difference by the original amount and then multiply by 100:
($375 / $450) x 100 = 0.8333 x 100 ≈ 83.33%

Therefore, the person is taking out approximately 83.33% of the $450.
