Question

Write an expression that can be used to find the price of a television that is on sale for 20% off the regular price of p dollars. Can you write a second expression equivalent to the one you wrote in the last questions.

Answer 1

The expression that could help calculate the price of the TV is;

$P - 20% of $P

Explanation:

Here, we want to write an expression that corresponds to the price of a television set that is on sale at a price which is 20% off the regular price.

From the question, we can see that the regular price is $P

So now we are having 20% off;

This corresponds to;

20/100 * p = p/5 = 0.2p

So in the expression form, we can have;

$P - 20% of $P
