Remember that if there is a 25% discount, then the amount you are paying represents 75%. We know the original price (ie 100%)
There are several methods.
Simplest: Find 25% of the$40 and subtract to find the price to be paid.

Natalija [7]
The answer is:  " -21 " .
__________________________________________
We are asked to solve for: "6t" ; which is: "6 * t" .
__________________________________________
Given:  3t − 7 = 5t ;  Solve for "t" ; then solve for "6t" ;

     3t − 7 = 5t ;   Subtract "3t" from each side of the equation;
____________________________________________
    3t − 7 − 3t  =  5t − 3t ;

to get:  -7  = 2t  ;

Divide EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "t" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "t" ;

-7/2 = 2t / 2 ;

-3.5 = t  ;  ↔  t = - 3.5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, solve for "6t" ;

  6 t = 6*(-3.5) = - 21 .   The answer is:  " -21 " .
