Let 'x' represent the discount as a decimal then after x percents discount the new price will be (1 - x)*50.
Is she used an X% discount to the price of her necklaces she would sell an additional 10 necklaces a month. Also Issa made $250 more in sales if she used the X% discount for a month.
(1 - x)*50*(40 + 10) = 250 + 40*50
