The sale price of an item is 0.75 the original price of the item, x. Which statement explains why both 3 4 x and 0.75x can find the sale price of the item? The fraction 3 4 is the same as the decimal 0.25. Therefore, 3 4 x can be written as 0.25x. Multiplying by 4 3 is the same as multiplying by 0.8. The expressions are not equivalent. Multiplying by 3 4 is the same as multiplying by 75%.
