Question

A pair of jeans is on sale for 25% off the original price. Which expression represents the sale

price? If the original price of the jeans is $40, evaluate the expression to find the sale price.
O s=p-0.25p; $30
O s= p - 25; 515
O s = p -0.25p; 510
O s=p-0.25: $39.75

Answer 1

$30

Explanation:

If it's 25% off, then to find the sale price we just need to subtract 25% of the original price from the original price.

Original price is 40 so we do 40 - (40 * 0.25) = 30
