Chase purchased a sweatshirt from the clearance rack. The price of the sweatshirt after the discount is represented by the expression ​0.75x, where ​x represents the original price of the sweatshirt.

Which expression also represents the discounted price of the sweatshirt?

A (0.75​ −​ 0.25)x

B ​(0.75​ +​ 0.25)x

C x​ –​ 0.25x

D ​x​ +​ 0.25x

Answer:

C .
`x-0.25x`

Explanation:

Given:

Expression representing price of the sweatshirt after the discount =
`0.75x`

`x` ⇒ original price of sweatshirt

We need to find the expression which also represents the discounted price of the sweatshirt.

Solution:

Form the given expression we can see that after discount we are paying only 75% of the original amount of sweatshirt.

So we can say that;

The discount price was 25% of the original price i.e
`0.25x`

So now we can say that;

Price after discount is equal to difference of original price and discounted price.

framing in equation form we get;

Price after discount =
`x-0.25x`

Hence the equivalent expression for the given discounted price of sweatshirt is
`x-0.25x`.
