I believe it is D also and my reason is cause i have the same problem and i got the answer D<span />
She is incorrect as 10% of the higher marked up price is larger than 10% of the original price.
For example: If you mark up $100 by 10% you get $110.
If you mark down $110 by 10%, you will get $99, as 10% of $110 ($11) is larger than 10% of $100 ($10).
D. Inequality
An expression would just contain simple arithmetic without any symbols relating two things to another.
An equation must contain an equals sign.
A fraction will have a bar representing division.
An inequality contains a sign representing a comparison of magnitude, in this question less than <.
Hope this helps!!
X = (7 + Y) (7 - Y)
