Explanation:   Let's start with what the total price of the oven would be. If 20% is equal to $250 then 100% equals $x. We just have to multiply $250 by 5 to get total amount=$1250. Out of this amount we then need to deduct the amount already paid which was $250 so we have $1250-$250=$1000   $1000nswer: Option $1000 1250- 250=
