Question

Heidi is shopping at the mall and sees a sign that reads. "All Shoes on Sale! Take 25% off the original price." If a pair of shoes cost x dollars, what is the discounted price? (Hint, write an expression)

Answer 1

Given Data:

The cost of the pair of shoes is: x

The discount rate is: 25%

The expression to calculate the discount price is,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Price-}(25)/(100)*(Price)=x-(25)/(100)* x \\ =x-(x)/(4) \\ =(4x-x)/(4) \\ =(3x)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the discount price is 3x/4.
