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%.
