Explanation:

Julie visited a craft store where all items were 25% off. She wants to program her calculator so she can input the marked price and the discounted price will be output. What is the expression for the discounted price on a marked price of p dollars?

She wants the calculator to return what the price is including the 25% discount. She will want her calculator to subtract 25%p from p so the equation will be:

p - 0.25p

option A returns what the price is including the 25% discount.

option B would return the item cost plus an additional 25%, not a discount of 25%

option C would return the marked price without the discount.

option D reflects the discount amount of 25%, not the price after the discount amount has been subtracted from the marked price.

option E tries subtract the marked price from the discount amount and would be negative.
