25% off
so that is the original price minus 25% of the original price or p-0.25p

so we do
p-0.25p
40-0.25(40)
40-10
30

The reduction of the price of an item from to another price is referred to as marked down. The expression after 25% off is [tex]s = p - 0.25p[/tex], while the sale price of an item whose original price is $40 will be $30

Given that:

[tex]p \to[/tex] original price

[tex]r = 25\%[/tex] --- percentage off

When the original price (p) is 25% off, the selling price (s) becomes

[tex]s = p(1- r)[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]s = p(1 - 25\%)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]s = p - 25\%p[/tex]

Express percentage as decimal

[tex]s = p - 0.25p[/tex]

When the original price is $40, the selling price becomes:

[tex]s = 40 - 0.25\times 40[/tex]

[tex]s = 40 - 10[/tex]

[tex]s = 30[/tex]

In conclusion

  • The expression that represents the sale price is: [tex]s = p - 0.25p[/tex]
  • An item whose original price is $40 will be sold at a reduced price of $30
