Question

A jacket is on sale for $15 off. As part of a one-day sale, a 20% discount is applied to all purchases. If x represents the original price of the jacket, which expression represents the final price of the jacket during this sale?

Answer 1

(x-15).8 this is the answer

Answer 2

The equation will be : 0.8x – 12

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the original price of the jacket be = x

As given, the jacket is on sale of $15 off, so the sale price is = x-15

Its also given that as part of a one-day sale, a 20% discount is applied to all purchases which means that after the 20% discount, the final price will be 0.80 times the sale price.

So, the final price of the jacket will be :

`0.80*(x -15)` =
`0.80x-12` (Though options or equations are not given to choose from, but this is the only correct answer.)
