The price of a lawn mower is x dollars. The store is having a 75% end of summer clearance sale. Which expression can be used to find the clearance price of the mower?
A) .25x
B) .75x
C) x - .25(75)
D) x + .25(75)
How do I figure this out?
The awnser would be .25x
nguyen is correct
trust me i dint think he was either buts he is right
To figure out the clearance price of the lawn mower, you need to calculate 75% of the original price and subtract it from the original price.
The expression that represents the clearance price of the mower is x - 0.75x, which simplifies to 0.25x.
Therefore, the correct option is:
A) 0.25x
well, it says 0.75 sale not 0.75 off.
therefore I suspect it means
.75x
but as is usual with advertising babble it is not clear.
