Question

Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75% off. He writes the expression d - 0.75 d to find the sale price of the game if the original price is d dollars. Rena correctly writes another expression, 0.25 d, that will also find the sale price of the game if the original price is d dollars. Drag each description to explain each part of both expressions.

Answer 1

The expression d - 0.75d finds the sale price of the game if the original price is d dollars by subtracting 75% of the original price from the original price.

=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=

The expression 0.25d finds the sale price of the game if the original price is d dollars by multiplying the original price by 25%.

=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=

In both expressions, d represents the original price of the game. The first expression subtracts 75% of the original price, represented by 0.75d, from the original price to find the sale price. The second expression multiplies the original price by 25%, represented by 0.25, to find the sale price.
