Question

Brad buys a jacket that is on sale for 30% off the original price.The expression p - 0.3p can be used to find the sale price of the jacket, where p is the original price of the jacket. If the original price of the jacket is $80, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

$56

Explanation:

The jacket is on sales for 30% off the original price = (0.3)

The original price (P) = $80

However, the expression "p - 0.3p" is to be used to find the sales price

The sale price = p - 0.3p

The sale price = $80 - 0.3($80)

The sale price = $80 - $24

The sale price = $56
