so the difference is 975 - 828.75 = 146.25.

now, if we take 975 to be the 100%, what is 146.25 off of it in percentage?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 975&100\\ 146.25&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{975}{146.25}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 975x=14625 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{14625}{975}\implies x=15[/tex]
