Find the discount amount, then subtract from the usual price.

• Usual price: \(\$8\)
• Discount: 25% of \(\$8 = \frac{25}{100} \times 8 = \frac{1}{4} \times 8 = \$2\)
• Sale price: \(\$8 - \$2 = \$6\)

Alternatively: 75% of \(\$8 = \frac{75}{100} \times 8 = \frac{3}{4} \times 8 = \$6\).

Jerry has to pay \(\$6\) for the book.
Check: \(\$6 \div \$8 = 0.75 = 75\%\), which is 100% - 25% = 75%. ✓

Final Answer: \(\$6\)
