Answer:

$14.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help yo with this

if the lamp is on sale for 25% it means you have to pay the 75% of the original cost, you can find that 75% or to find the 25 % and the subtract that value from the original cost, it is the same anyway

Step 1

if

$18.95 ⇔100%

x$?       ⇔75%

[tex]\frac{18.95}{100}=\frac{x}{75}[/tex]

Step 2

solve for x

[tex]\frac{75*18.95}{100}=x\\x=\frac{1421.51}{100}\\ x=14.21\\\\[/tex]

the new price is $14.21

have a great day.
