Question

The dress is on sale for 35% off the regular price (w). What expression represents the sale price of the wedding dress?

Answer 1

Expression that represents the sale price of the wedding dress is $s = 0.65w$

Solution:

Given that, the dress is on sale for 35 % off the regular price

Let the regular price of dress be "w"

To find: Expression that represents the sale price of the wedding dress

Let "s" be the sale price of wedding dress

Sale price = Regular price - discount price

Discount price is given as:

Discount price = 35 % of regular price

Discount price = 35 % of w

$\rightarrow 35 \% \times w\\\\\rightarrow \frac{35}{100} \times w\\\\\rightarrow 0.35w$

Thus discount price = 0.35w

Expression for the sale price of the wedding dress:

Sale price = Regular price - discount price

s = w - 0.35w

s = 0.65w

Thus expression that represents the sale price of the wedding dress is $s = 0.65w$
