To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,
First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.
For example:
let "x" be the original price
in the first case it would be:
0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:
x - 0.2 * x
in the second case it is:
1 - 0.2 = 0.8
that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x
Answer:
-1/4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
