Answer 1

Given:

The expression is

$-3(0.15-0.2+0.25p)$

To find:

The equivalent expression.

Solution:

We have,

$-3(0.15-0.2+0.25p)$

It can be written as

$=-3(-0.05+0.25p)$

So, option C is correct.

$=-3(-0.05)+(-3)(0.25p)$

$=0.15-0.75p$

So, option A is correct.

The given expression can be written as

$=-3(0.15)+(-3)(-0.2)+(-3)(0.25p)$

So, option D is incorrect.

$=-0.45+0.6-0.75p$

So, option B is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct options are A and C.
