Question

Pls answer, show work A jacket at a clothing store is being discounted by 10%. If the jacket was originally priced at x dollars, which of the following expressions does NOT represent the final price of the jacket before sales tax is added?

A.
x – 0.10x

B.
x(1 – 0.10)

C.
x – 1.10x

D.
0.90x

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

This is the only possible correct answer because the other three all show the final price as 0.90x, which is correct since the price is the normal one minus 10 percent. C is incorrect because it suggests the normal price has a 10% tax, or extra value on it.
