Question

Bo is buying a board game that usually costs B dollars. The game is on sale, and the price has been reduced by 18%.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is E.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the game costs $10 originally then the following would be true:

B = $10

$10.00 x .18 = $1.80  so the discount is $1.80

10.00 - 1.80 = $8.20

Answer 2

Answer:

A. $0.82B$

E. $B-0.18B$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Bo is buying a board game that usually costs B dollars. The game is on sale, and the price has been reduced by 18%. We are asked to choose the option that represents amount paid by Bo for the game.

The cost of the game after discount would be original cost minus 18% of original cost. We can write 18 percent as $\frac{18}{100}$.

$\text{Cost of game after discount}=B-\frac{18}{100}\cdot B$

$\text{Cost of game after discount}=B-0.18\cdot B$

$\text{Cost of game after discount}=B-0.18B$

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that option E is the correct choice.

Let us combine like terms.

$\text{Cost of game after discount}=0.82B$

Therefore, option A and E are correct choices.
