Respuesta :

Answer:

$225

Explanation:

The cost of the new sofa is $900.

Mackenzie need to raise 75% of the cost price.

Her brother will lend her the balance, which is equivalent to 75% of the cost price.

Mackenzie needs to raise

= 75% of 900

=75/100 x 900

=$675

Her brother will lend her

= $900 - $675

=$225
