Answer:
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Step-by-step explanation:
The regular price of an item at a store is p dollars. The item is on sale for 20% off the regular price. Some of the expressions shown below represent the sale price, in dollars, of the item.
Expression A: 0.2p
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression C:1 - 0.2p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Expression E: p - 0.8p
Which two expressions each represent the sale price of the item?
Regular price of the item = $p
Sale price = 20% off regular price
Sale price = $p - 20% of p
= p - 20/100 * p
= p - 0.2 * p
= p - 0.2p
= p(1 - 0.2)
= p(0.8)
= 0.8p
The sale price is represented by the following expressions
Expression B: 0.8p
Expression D: p - 0.2p
Answer:
In step 5, andrew made a mistake by subtracting 9.8 instead of adding 9.8. Andrew should've have obtained the answer -2, but because of his mistake the answer is incorrect.
Ax+by=c
a=(-by+c)/x
b=(-ax+c)/x
c=ax+by
x=(-by+c)/a
y=(-ax+c)/b. or y= -a/b x + c/b which is slope intercept form
