Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:
40 - x% * 40 = 30
The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.
Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:
x%*40 = 10
Divide by 40:
x% = 1/4 = 0.25
Multiply each side by 100:
x = 25
The answer is 25%.

Answer: give me brainliest
Step-by-step explanation:
ax+by=a-b
ax=a-b-by
x=a-b-by/a←
bx-ay=a+b
substituting
b(a-b-by/a)-ay=a+b
ab-b²-b²y/a-ay=a+b
ab-b²-b²y-a²y/a=a+b
ab-b²-(b²+a²)y=a²+ab
-(b²+a²)y=a²+ab-ab+b²
(b²+a²)y=-(a²+b²)
y=-(a²+b²)/a²+b²
y=-1←
substituting value of y
x=a-b-b(-1)/a
x=a-b+b/a
x=a/a
x=1
