let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, and then proceed
[tex]\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{35}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{4}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ -4\frac{3}{8}-\left( -1\frac{1}{4} \right)\implies -\cfrac{35}{8}-\left( -\cfrac{5}{4} \right)\implies -\cfrac{35}{8}+\cfrac{5}{4}\implies \cfrac{-(1)(35)~~ +~~(2)(5)}{\underset{\textit{using this as LCD}}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]\cfrac{-35+10}{8}\implies -\cfrac{25}{8}\implies -3\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

hmmm we can pick any of those %, hmmm let's use 18%, keeping in mind that the whole amount is really the 100% and that's say "x", hmmm we know the 18% of "x" is $5.87.
[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} \%&amount\\ \cline{1-2} 18&5.87\\ 100&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{18}{100}=\cfrac{5.87}{x}\implies \cfrac{9}{50}=\cfrac{5.87}{x} \\\\\\ 9x = 293.5\implies x = \cfrac{293.5}{9}\implies x = 32.6\overline{1}\qquad \textit{about 32 bucks and 61 cents}[/tex]
