when taking the discount of 25% off, we first write it as a decimal

25% = 0.25

if we want to take 25% off the 100%, we also write 100% as a decimal

100% = 1

now the difference between the will be


1-0.25

this has to be multiplied by the original price


p\cdot(1-0.25)

distribute the p into the parentheses


p-0.25p

expression c can also be used to express the price of the item
