discount=$10=$10
sale price=$30=$30

Explanation:

If a $40$40 dress' price is reduced by 25%25%, and you want to find the discount, then you must find 25%25% of $40$40. You can do this by multiplying 0.250.25 by $40$40.

"discount"=$40xx25%discount=$40×25%

"discount"=$40xx0.25discount=$40×0.25

"discount"=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)$10color(white)(a/a)|)))

If the discount of the dress is $10, and you want to find the sale price, then subtract the discount from the original price.

"sale price"="original price"-"discount"

"sale price"=$40-$10

"sale price"=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)$30color(white)(a/a)|)))
