Question

Write an algebraic expression to model the given context. Give your answer in simplest form. the price p of a coat reduced by a 5% discount​

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the expression of the price p of a coat reduced by a 5% discount​ will be: 0.95 p      

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'p' be the original price

Discount = 5% = 0.05

The discount amount can be calculated by multiplying the original price by 5% or 0.05

Discount Amount = 5% × p

                             = 0.05 × p

                             = 0.05 p

Given that the price p of a coat reduced by a 5% discount​.

Thus, the price after 5% discount​ can be calculated by subtracting the discount amount i.e. 0.05 p from the original price p.

Thus,

The expression of the price p after 5% discount​ = p - 0.05 p

                                                                                = 0.95 p

Therefore, we conclude that the expression of the price p of a coat reduced by a 5% discount​ will be: 0.95 p
