I love these questions!
Anyway, let's figure out the original price, discount in percent, and new price. 25% is the discount in percent, the original price is unknown, and the new price is $24. Here is the equation.
O - Original price
d% - discount in percent
N - New price
O x (1 - d%) = N
O x (1 - 25%) = $24
O x (1 - 0.25) = $24
O x 0.75 = $24
0.75 0.75
O = $32
$32 - $24 = $8
Therefore, the original price of the socks is $8.
Answer:The Price of socks is
=$8
Explanation:Given -
Discount 25%
Price of shirt before discount =$24
Amount spent on both shirt and socks after applying discount
=$24
Assume the price of socks =$x
Then Shirt + Socks before discount =$(24+x)
After discount one has to pay 75% of the article.
Then = 75/100(24+x)=24
0.75(24+x)=24
18+0.75x=24
0.75x=24−18=6
x=6/0.75=8
The Price of socks is =$8
How to verify your answer -
One way
Price of shirt =$24
Price of socks =$8
Total =$32
Discount =25%
Discount for $32 is 32×25/100=$8
Amount one has to pay after discount =32−8=$24
Another way is -
Discount 25%
It means after discount it is enough if he pays 75% of the price.
In our case - Actual price is =$32
75% of $32 is =32×75/100=24
