The factored expression is 15(p - 2) . The discount per pair of shoe is $2

Using the expression given:

  • 15p - 30

Factorize :

The greatest common factor of 15 and 30 is 15

  • 15(p - 2)

Hence, the factored expression Using GCF is 15(p - 2)

b.)

The discount on the purchase is the constant value:

  • Total discount = 30

Number of shoes = 15

Discount per pair = Total discount/ Number of shoe pairs

Discount per pair of shoes = 30/15 = $2

Therefore, the discount on each pair of shoes is $2
