Answer:

Both are correct. See below.

Explanation:

Hasan's expression 0.25d will find the amount of the discount in $$$ for a 25% discount. By writing d-0.25d he will also find the sale price by subtracting the original by the discount in $$$.

Bella's expression 0.75d finds the sale price for a 25% discount. If you receive 25% off then you pay 75%. Bella also wrote d-0.75d which gives the amount in dollars of the discount. By subtracting the sale price from the original, we find the deduction the sale gives.
