The reduction in price is:
37.5
%

Original price
→
$40
Reduced to

→
$25

Writing this as a fraction of the original price we have
25/40

But this represents the final price.
What we need is the amount of reduction

The price has been reduced by

$40−$25=$15

So as a fraction of the original price the reduction is:
15/40

Converting this to a percentage

Let the unknown value be
x

15/40=x/100

Multiply both sides by 100
15/40×100 = x × 100/100

But 100/100= 1

x = 15/40 × 100 = 37 1/2→37.5 giving: 37.5/100 = 37.5 × 1/100 = 37.5%
