Question

A store is marking down the price of a television 25 percent from the original price of $250. Which expression can be used to find the marked down price?
250 dollars minus (0.25) (250)
250 dollars + (0.25) (250)
250 dollars minus (25) (250)
250 dollars + (25) (250)

Answer 1

To find the marked down price of the television after a 25 percent discount from the original price of $250, you need to subtract the discount amount from the original price.

The discount amount can be calculated as:

\[
0.25 \times 250
\]

Thus, the marked down price can be expressed as:

\[
250 - (0.25 \times 250)
\]

So the correct expression to find the marked down price is:

\[
250 \text{ dollars minus } (0.25) \times (250)
\]

This means the correct choice is:

**250 dollars minus (0.25) (250)**
