Answer:

C. 75%

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helped

I mainly just did the math of each percentage and 72

(calculator was used)

Answer:

B. 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part/Whole

54/72=0.75

75% was the amount left over ($54), meaning 25% of the coupon was used ($18).

Checking Answer:

72/4=18. 18 is 25% of the pair of shoes. 25% is 4 less then 100%, so lets pretend 100 is replaced with the number 72. What is 4 times less then 72? 18. If 75% of the coupon was used, then you would use 18(3)=54, since three would stand for 25% three times used from the coupon which is 75%, the remaining 25% being 18.
