To solve this, we first need to know how much Sue's utility bill is. We know that her utility bill is 25% of $900.

So, 900 x .25 = 225. Her utility bill is $225 a month.

If she wants to reduce the bill by 15%, to find how much she will save, you will multiply the total cost of her utility bill by 15%:

225 x .15 = 33.75

Therefore, she will save $33.75 if she reduces her utility bill by 15%.
