A pair of jeans is on sale for 25% off the original price. Which expression represents the sale price? If the original price of the jeans is $40, evaluate the expression to findicate the sale price.
Are these your choices?
s=p-0.25 p;$30
s=p-25:$15
s=p-0.25p;$10
s=p-0.25;$39.75
What is your answer?
sale price = original - .25(original)
or
sale price = .75(original)
Sale price = 40 - .25(40)
or
Sale price = .75(40)
You should get the same answer using either one of the expressions.

jazzzmin is correct thank you so much
To determine the sale price of a pair of jeans that is 25% off the original price, you need to follow these steps:
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, the percentage is 25, so you divide it by 100 to get 0.25.
2. Multiply the original price by the decimal obtained in the previous step. In this case, the original price is $40, so you multiply it by 0.25:
$40 * 0.25 = $10
The expression that represents the sale price is $40 - $10.
To evaluate the expression, you simply subtract $10 from $40:
$40 - $10 = $30
Therefore, the sale price of the jeans is $30.
