Answer 2

Answer:

$0.25x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a lawn mower is x dollars.

The store is having a 75% end of summer clearance sale.

So, clearance rate = 100% - 75 % = 25 %

So,  the clearance price of the mower = $25\% \times x$

                                                                = $\frac{25}{100} \times x$

                                                                = $0.25x$

So, expression can be used to find the clearance price of the mower is $0.25x$
