Respuesta :

Answer:

.70p  

p(1-.30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tony plans to purchase a jacket that costs p dollars. In a week the jacket will go on sale for 30% off.

Tony writes althea following expression

p - .30p

Here P  or 1P  are same

So expression becomes 1p - 0.30p

Both are like terms

so we can subtract it

1p - 0.30p = 0.70p

Also we can write 1p - 0.30p  as  p(1-0.30)

We can take out p that is in common

Equivalent expression is .70p  and p(1-.30)
