Answer 1

Here's the answer ;)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:
25% discount

Hasan: d - 0.25d
Bella: 0.75d

d = original price.
0.25d = discount.
0.75d = discounted price.

Let’s say the price of the book is $1,000.

0.25d = 0.25(1000) = 250
0.75d = 0.75(1000) = 750

d - 0.25d = 1000 - 250 = 750

0.75d = 0.75(1000) = 750
