Final answer:
The correct expressions that represent the sale price of the board game discounted by 18% of B dollars are (A) 0.82B and (D) B-18, where '18' is assumed to mean 18% of B in dollar terms. therefore, option A and D arecorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked which expressions could represent the amount Bo pays for a board game on sale for 18% off its usual price of B dollars. To find the sale price, we calculate 18% of B and subtract that from B. Therefore, 0.18 of B is represented by 0.18B. To calculate the reduced price, we subtract 0.18B from B, which gives us B - 0.18B. Simplifying this expression gives us 0.82B, which represents the new price after the discount is applied. Therefore, the expressions that represent the sale price of the game are option (A) 0.82B, and option (D) B - 18, assuming '18' refers to 18% of B in dollar terms. Options (B) 1.18B and (C) B-0.18, are not correct; 1.18B would represent an 18% increase, and B-0.18 does not account for the percentage reduction relative to B.
the complete Question is given below:
