A) 4s V) 5s − 0.20(5s) C) 5s − 0.20s D) 5s − 1s

Respuesta :

The answer is most definitely C -.-

Answer:

C) 5s − 0.20s

Explanation:

Here, s represents the cots of each snake,

Since, the cost of 5 snake = 5s,

Percentage of off = 20%,

New price of the snake = 5s - 20% of 5s

[tex]=5s-\frac{20}{100}\times 5s[/tex]

[tex]=5s - 0.20(5s)[/tex]

[tex]=5s - 1s[/tex]

[tex]=4s[/tex]

Hence, only expression '5s − 0.20s' is not equivalent to the situation stated.
