$Discount percentage = 25 %$ $color(indigo)("Discount percentage " = 25%$

$Original or cost price C = $ 80$ $"Original or Cost price " C = $ 80$

$Sale Price S = $ 60$ $"Sale Price " S = $ 60$

$Discount = D = C - S = 80 - 60 = $ 20$ $"Discount " = D = C - S = 80 - 60 = $ 20$

$Discount percentage = (\frac{C - S}{C}) \cdot 100$ $"Discount percentage " = ((C - S ) / C) * 100$

$Discount percentage = (\frac{80 - 60}{80}) \cdot 100 = 25 %$ $"Discount percentage " = ((80 - 60)/80 ) * 100 = 25%$

$% 25$ $% 25$

$\frac{80 - 60}{80} = \frac{20}{80} = \frac{1}{4} = % 25$ $(80-60)/80=20/80=1/4=% 25$
