Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price: $25

Discounted price: $15

Amount of discount: $25 - $15 = $10

The boots sold for $10 less than the original price.

To find the percent discount, we need to find what percent of $25 is $10.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = 10/25 * 100%

percent = 0.4 * 100%

percent = 40%
