Answer 2

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided in the question it is given as

Cost of jacket =$40

25% off (means discount )

We need to find the cost after discount or off

It is seen that this is the question of %

In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%

We first find the 25% of 40

$=\frac{25}{100}\times 40$

Converting to the lowest term we get the answer

$\frac{25}{10} \times 4$

(As both are divisible by 10)

=  $10

So the cost of jacket after 25% off will be $10
