See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The formula to determine the price of the item with the discount is:

#p = c - (c * d)#

Where:

#p# is the final price of the item - what we are solving for.

#c# is the original cost of the item - $25 for this problem.

#d# is the discount percent - 10% for this problem. "Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 10% can be written as #10/100#.

We can substitute and calculate #p# as follows:

#p = $25 - ($25 * 10/100)#

#p = $25 - ($250)/100#

#p = $25 - $2.50#

#p = $22.50#

The tech deck ramp will be $22.50 after the 10% discount.
