Question

Ali sell Durian have profit Margin 25%, how many percent he wan to reduce to the original price?

Answer 1

If the profit margin is 25%, he wan to take the original price and divide it by 1-25% (1-.25), or divide it by 75% (.75) which will yield the selling price.

Example:  if the original price is $75,  then $75 /.75 = $100 selling price, which is a profit margin of 25%.

If the starting point is the selling price of $100, then multiply by 75% to get the original price of $75, which is actually a reduction to the selling price of 25%.   Or, you can multiply the $100 selling price by 25%,  then subtract $25 from $100 which is the original price of $75.
