Answer:
1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression 24(1−x) gives the discounted price of a pair of shorts, where x is the percent of the discount written in decimal form.
For example , 10% is the discount percentage
1 - 10% = 90% will be the percentage of original price to be paid
Here x represents the percent of the discount
so 1-x represents the percent of the original price being paid.
