A) 4s V) 5s − 0.20(5s) C) 5s − 0.20s D) 5s − 1s

Answer 1

The answer is most definitely C -.-

Answer 2

C) 5s − 0.20s

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, s represents the cots of each snake,

Since, the cost of 5 snake = 5s,

Percentage of off = 20%,

New price of the snake = 5s - 20% of 5s

`=5s-(20)/(100)* 5s`

`=5s - 0.20(5s)`

`=5s - 1s`

`=4s`

Hence, only expression '5s − 0.20s' is not equivalent to the situation stated.
