Question

The price of a lawn mower is x dollars. The store is having a 75% end of summer clearance sale. Which expression can be used to find the clearance price of the mower?

Answer 1

`0.25x`

Explanation:

The price of a lawn mower is x dollars.

The store is having a 75% end of summer clearance sale.

So, clearance rate = 100% - 75 % = 25 %

So, the clearance price of the mower =
`25\% * x`

=
`(25)/(100) * x`

=
`0.25x`

So, expression can be used to find the clearance price of the mower is
`0.25x`

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

.25x

100% - 75% = 25%

The clearance price is 25% of the price of the lawn mower.

Write 25% as a decimal and multiply.

.25x
