Question

2. Which expression(s) can represent the sale price of the boots where x is the original price of the boots? Select ALL that apply. 0/4 A. 0.2x B. 0.8x C. 1.2x D. x - 0.2x E. x - 0.8x

Answer 1

The correct option is B) 0.8x

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Nancy is buying a new pair of boots. The store is having a sale and all boots are 20% off.

Let the original price is represented by x.

After getting 20% off the amount need to pay is:

Sale price = x-20% of x

`\text{Sale price}=x-(20)/(100)x`

`\text{Sale price}=x-0.2x`

`\text{Sale price}=0.8x`

Hence, the sales price of the boots is 0.8x.

Thus, the correct option is B) 0.8x
