Answer: a. d/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A saving of 1/4 can be made on the pillows off of their regular price which means that if the price is d, a saving of 1/4 multiplied by d can be made on the pillow.

When d is multiplied by 1/4, the result is:

= d * 1/4

= d/4

Example:

Assuming d = $8, discount would be:

= 8 * 1/4

= 8 / 4

= $2

This proves the equation gives the dollar discount.
