Answer:

The discount would be 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

24 and 18 are both divisible by 6

24 is just 4×6

18 is just 3×6

This means that 18/24 is the same as 3/4

We calculate the discount by subtracting the percentage of the sale price from the original price.

3/4 is the same as 75% of 100% meaning the discount percentage is 100-75, which gives us 25%
