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%.

$21.44•.25=$5.36
So if you are asking just how much the shipping and handling is it’s $5.36 but if you are asking the total it’s. $26.80
$21.44+$5.36=$26.80

This Implies that she needs to say nothing more, because the truth was so blaringly obvious that everyone in the crowd understood it. It also implies that no better argument for her cause could be put forward, and none was needed.
