$ 5 is taken is off the regular price
Solution:
Given that, Regular price of the soccer ball is $ 25
During the sale, it is 20 percent off
Let "x" be the amount that is taken off the regular price
Regular price = $ 25
Discount = 20 percent off
Which means, 20 % of regular price is taken off
x = 20 % of regular price
x = 20 % of 25
[tex]x = \frac{20}{100} \times 25\\\\x = 5[/tex]
Thus $ 5 is taken is off the regular price
