Question

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ⅔t

E. t-⅓t

Step-by-step explanation:

If Hakeem has a coupon for ⅓ off the regular price, t, of a tent.

The value of the coupon=⅓ of t

=⅓ X t =⅓t

Using this coupon, the value of the tent becomes: t-⅓t=(1-⅓)t= ⅔t

We are subtracting because there is a reduction in the price of the tent.

Therefore, options B and E represents the price of the tent if the coupon is used.
