percents are always out of 100. 25% out of 100% is 1/4 in money, .25 cents. also .25 as a decimal. you can either multiply 17.99 by .25 to get your a number and subtract it by the number in this case 17.99 times .25 is 4.4975 and subtract it by 17.99 which is 13.4925 rounded to the nearest cent it will be 13.49, or multiply 17.99 by .75 to get your answer and just round. you multiply by .75 because 100-25 is 75.
P.S.- i would use the second way, it's faster.

I'm assuming you mean "what is $17.99 minus 25% *of $17.99*" (notice I threw in the "of $17.99").
So set up the expression:
17.99-25%*17.99
Now convert 25% into the decimal 0.25
17.99-0.25*17.99
Multiply 0.25*17.99 to get
17.99-4.4975
Now subtract
13.4925
Now round 13.4925 to the nearest hundredth to get 13.49
So $17.99 minus 25% of $17.99 is $13.49.
In other words,
17.99-25%*17.99 = 13.49
