The suggested retail price of a new car is p dollars. The dealership advertised a factory rebate of $1200 and an 8% discount.

How would I write the function R in terms of p giving the cost of the car after receiving the rebate from the factory?
I TRULY NEED HELP PLEASE!

R(p) = p - 0.08p - 1200

To calculate the cost of the car after receiving the rebate from the factory, you need to subtract the rebate amount from the suggested retail price.

Let's break down the steps to calculate the cost:

1. Start with the suggested retail price, p dollars.
2. Subtract the factory rebate amount, which is $1200.
The cost after receiving the rebate is p - $1200.

Therefore, the function R, which represents the cost of the car after receiving the rebate, can be written as:

R(p) = p - $1200

So, if you plug in the suggested retail price (p), you can calculate the cost of the car after receiving the rebate.
