Answer 2

Option C. c - 0.25c; $149.96

A television that was originally marked $199.95.

Now it is on discount of = 25%

Let the cost represent by c

c - 0.25c

Now put the price in the expression to get the sale price of it.

199.95 - (0.25 × 199.95)

= 199.95 - 49.9875

= $149.96

Sale price of Television would be $149.96

Option C. c - 0.25c; $149.96
