To calculate how much Marie paid for the dog food after receiving all the rebates, we can break the process down step by step.
1. The original cost of the dog food is represented by p.
2. Marie used a 75-cents-off coupon, so she saved $0.75. This means she paid p - $0.75 for the dog food after the coupon.
3. Marie also mailed in the box top to receive a company rebate of $1.00. Since she already paid p - $0.75 after the coupon, she will deduct an additional $1.00 from the final amount.
4. To calculate the final amount paid by Marie after receiving all the rebates, we subtract $1.00 from the amount she paid after using the coupon. So the final expression becomes: (p - $0.75) - $1.00.
Therefore, the correct answer is p - $0.75 - $1.00, which is option 1] p - $1.00 - $0.75.
