    The price of the computer program is 50 dollars. Since, it is on sale, the current price is now 37.50 dollars. Base on the given choices or options, let's find out which is correct. But, first let's solve this to be able to identify which one is the correct answer:=> 37.50 dollars / 50 dollars = 0.75=> 0.75 * 100% = 75%=> 100% - 75% = 25%. Thus, the discount percentage is 25% and the current price is 75%.

    If you would like to know what is the percent decrease, you can calculate this using the following steps:

    x% of $50 is $37.50

    x% * 50 = 37.50

    x/100 * 50 = 37.50 / * 100/50

    x = 37.50 * 100 / 50

    x = 75%

    100% - 75% = 25%

    The correct result would be D. 25%.
