Question

A pillow that usually costs $18 is marked down 25%. Which expressions can be used to find the new price of the pillow?

Answer 1

n= new price

n=18-(18*0.25)

Answer 2

x = 18-(0.25×18)

Explanation:

The price of the pillow = $18.00

cost is marked down = 25% =
`(25)/(100)` = 0.25

Let the new price be x

The expression that can be used to find the new price of the pillow will be

x = 18-(0.25×18)
