The question provided is incomplete. Here is the complete question : DeMarkus says that a store overcharged him on the price of the video game he bought. He thought the price was marked  1/4 of the original price, but it was really  1/4 off the original price. He misread the advertisement. If the original price of the game was $48 , what is the difference between the price that DeMarkus thought he should pay and the price that the store charged him?  A. $28.50B. $36.00C. $42.50D. $24.00

The first step is to determine the price DeMarkus thought the price of the videogame was = 1/4 of the original price

1/4 x $48 = $12

The second step is to determine the actual discounted price.

Actual discounted price = original price = (1/4 of the price)

48 - (1/4 x $48 = $12)

$48 - $12 = $36

The third step is to determine the difference in the prices

$36 - $12 = $24
