Answer:

1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.

Explanation:

The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal form.

For example , 10% is the discount percentage

1 - 10% = 90% will be the percentage of original price to be paid

Here x represents the percent of the discount

so 1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.
