Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

last year price = $3.00

this year price = $3.00 - (25% × $3.00)

= $3.00 - $0.75

= $2.25

To get last year’s you have to multiply 0.75 and 4 to get 3.00 I got the 4 by multiplying 25 by 4 to get 100. So if it was 0.75 less last year it is still 0.75 this year so 3.00 - 0.75 is 2.25
