Question

An item that regularly sells for a dollars is on sale for 35% off its regular price. Write an expression that shows the price in dollars after the discount.

Answer 1

0.65A = X

Explanation:

Given that an item that regularly sells for A dollars is on sale for 35% off its regular price, to write an expression that shows the price in dollars after the discount the following equation must be proposed:

100 - 35 = 65

0.65A = Discount price

Therefore, if the regular price were $ 50, this equation would work as follows:

0.65 x 50 = X

32.5 = X
