Question

The store offers a discount of 20% off all items. If x is the original price, which expression represents the final price with the discount? Select all that apply.

A. 1.2x
B. 0.8x
C. x
D. x - 0.8x
E. x - 0.2x
F. x + 0.8x
G. x + 0.2x

Answer 1

E. X - 0.2x

For example if it costs $100, I would multiply 100 by 0.2, which equals $20. Next I would subtract $100-$20=$80. The item would cost $80 after the 20% discount is applied.
