Answer 1

Answer: 40% discount

Explanation:

First lets find the difference between original price and sale price so $125-$75= $50

So we get a discount of 50 dollars off the original price

Next lets find out how much of %$125 is that $50 so
`(50)/(125)` as a decimal is .4 or 40%. To check our work lets multiply 125 by 0.4 so 125*0.4= 50 which is the discount.
