Question

In sale time at a certain clothing store, all shirts are on sale for $7 less than 80% of the original price. Write a function g that finds 80% of x by first rewriting 80% as a fraction or a decimal.

A. g(x) = (7/10) * x
B. g(x) = (8/10) * x
C. g(x) = 0.8 * x
D. g(x) = (10/8) * x

Answer 1

To find 80% of the original price, rewrite 80% as a decimal by dividing it by 100. The function g(x) that finds 80% of x is represented by g(x) = 0.8 * x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 80% of the original price, we can rewrite 80% as a decimal. 80% is equal to 0.80. Therefore, the function g(x) that finds 80% of x is represented by option C, g(x) = 0.8 * x.
