Question

Demitry bought a pair of paints at the discounted prize of $30. The original price of the pants was $40. What was the percent of the discount?

Answer 1

25% discount

Explanation:

We know we paid $30 of the original $40. We can divide these two numbers
`(30)/(40)=0.75`. This is means we paid 75% of the original price. The discount percentage is the remaining percentage from 75 to 100 which is 25. The pants were 25% off.
