Respuesta :

p - 0.25p and 0.75p and (1 - 0.25)p

Answer:

A. [tex]p-0.25p[/tex]

E. [tex](1-0.25)p[/tex]

H. [tex]0.75p[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a store is having a 25% off sale. An item has a price of p.

The price of item would be p minus 25% of p because 25% off means we have to pay 25% less than the original price. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]p-\frac{25}{100}\times p[/tex]

[tex]p-0.25p[/tex]

Upon factoring our p from our expression we will get,

[tex]p(1-0.25)[/tex]

Let us simplify our expression by subtracting 0.25 from 1 as:

[tex]0.75p[/tex]

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that options A, E and H are correct choice.
