2 Answers: Choice B and Choice D

======================================

Work Shown:

c = price of coat before discount

0.33c = discount = amount you save

c - 0.33c = original price minus discount = final price

c - 0.33c = 1c - 0.33c = (1-0.33)c = 0.67c = final price

In short, c - 0.33c = 0.67c

They are two ways of expressing the same thing.

You can think of it like saying 100% - 33% = 67%

If you save 33%, then you still have to pay the remaining 67% of the original cost.

-------------

Example:

Let's say the coat is $100 before the discount

c = 100

0.33*c = 0.33*100 = 33 dollars is how much you save

c - 0.33c = 100 - 33 = 67 dollars is the final price

0.67c = 0.67*100 = 67 matches with the previous figure above
