Q. Bo went shopping for a new pair of pants because of a sale. The store was offering a 25% discount. If the price on the tag was p, which expression represents the price after the discount but before tax?0.25p0.975p25p0.75p
Calculate Discount: To find the price after the discount, we need to calculate the amount of the discount and subtract it from the original price. The discount is 25% of the original price p.Calculation: Discount =25% of p=0.25×p
Subtract Discount: Now, we subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price before tax.Calculation: Sale price = p - Discount = p - 0.25×p = p - 0.25p = 0.75p
