Question

A new bicycle sells for $300. It is on sale for 1/4 off the regular price. Select all the expressions that represent the sale price of the bicycle in dollars.

Answer 1

The regular price of the bicycle is $300. 1/4 of $300 is $75. So, the amount of the discount is $75.

To find the sale price, we can subtract the discount from the regular price:

Sale price = Regular price - Discount

Sale price = $300 - $75

Sale price = $225

So, the sale price of the bicycle is $225.

Expressions that represent the sale price of the bicycle in dollars:

$225
3/4 x $300
$300 - 1/4 x $300
$75
So, the correct expressions are:

$225
3/4 x $300
$300 - 1/4 x $300
