Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Subtract the discount price from original price
  • 40 - 30 = 10 dollars, this is the discount amount
  • Find out what percentage of the original amount the discount amount is
  • Do this by dividing the discount by the original and multiply the result by 100
  • [tex]\frac{10}{40} \times100=25[/tex] that's 25 percent
