Step 1: Find the difference between the regular price and the sale price
$958 - $718.50 = $239.50

Step 2: Calculate the percent off
Percent off = Amount of discount ÷ Regular price × 100%
Percent off = $239.50 ÷ $958 × 100%
Percent off = 0.25 × 100%
Percent off = 25%

Therefore, the answer is D) 25%
