Question

Hakeem has a coupon for __ 1 3 off the regular price, t, of a tent. Which expressions represent the price of the tent using the coupon? Select all the correct expressions. A. __ 1 3 t B. __ 2 3 t C. T – __ 1 3 D. T – __ 2 3 E. T – __ 1 3 t F. T – __ 2 3 t

Answer 1

B. ⅔t

E. t-⅓t

Explanation:

If Hakeem has a coupon for ⅓ off the regular price, t, of a tent.

The value of the coupon=⅓ of t

=⅓ X t =⅓t

Using this coupon, the value of the tent becomes: t-⅓t=(1-⅓)t= ⅔t

We are subtracting because there is a reduction in the price of the tent.

Therefore, options B and E represents the price of the tent if the coupon is used.
