Answer:
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Explanation:
The regular price of an item at a store is p dollars. The item is on sale for 20% off the regular price. Some of the expressions shown below represent the sale price, in dollars, of the item.
Expression A: 0.2p
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression C:1 - 0.2p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Expression E: p - 0.8p
Which two expressions each represent the sale price of the item?
Regular price of the item = $p
Sale price = 20% off regular price
Sale price = $p - 20% of p
= p - 20/100 * p
= p - 0.2 * p
= p - 0.2p
= p(1 - 0.2)
= p(0.8)
= 0.8p
The sale price is represented by the following expressions
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
