What is Harold's total payment?

Percentage is the  fraction of a quantity that is expressed as a number out of hundred. The sign used to represent percentages is %. Percentages are a measure of frequency.

The total bill Harold would pay is the sum of the first $550, 25% of the remaining bill, 12% of the fee for prescription medications and the late payment fee since she paid after September 30.

Amount of total bill that Harold would pay = (100 - 75)% x (20,500 - 550)

25% x 19,950 = $4,987.50

Amount of the  prescription medications Harold pays : 12% x 450 = $54

Total bill - $550 + $4,987.50 + $54 + $250 = $5,841.50
