B: $250 + (0.25)(250)
C: $250 - (25)(250)
D: $250 + (25)(250)

Answer 1

Option A.

Explanation:

The original price of a television in a store = $250.00

The store is marking down the price of a television 25 percent from the original price.

25% =
`(25)/(100)` = 0.25

The expression can be used to find the marked down price

250 - ( 25% of 250)

= 250 - (0.25)(250)

Option A. is the answer.
