30% of 750 is 225. Decimals line up: 0.30 × 750 = 225. Three tenths of seven-fifty is smooth because 750 ÷ 10 = 75 for 10%, then 75 × 3 = 225. Split the base as 500 + 250 and you get 30% of 500 (150) plus thirty percent of half a thousand (75), which sums to 225. On the same total, 25% of 750 is 187.5 and 20% of 750 is 150; adding one 10% of 750 (75) steps you from one-fifty to two-twenty-five. Doubling 15% of 750 (112.5) checks out as well.

Seven-fifty is three-quarters of a thousand, so it sits in a sweet spot between “six hundreds” and “round thousand” mental models. Thirty percent stays whole here: the tenth is 75, the triple is 225, and the complement 525 is also an integer—handy for invoices and budgets.
After removing thirty percent, 70% remains: 750 − 225 = 525, or 0.70 × 750 = 525. Pairing 225 with 525 is the usual discount picture—amount off versus amount still due—on a simple model.
