The expression \( c - 0.25c \) can be simplified as follows:
\[
c - 0.25c = (1 - 0.25)c = 0.75c
\]
Thus, the equivalent expression for the cost of the item that is on sale for 25% off is:
\[
0.75c
\]
So, the correct answer is **0.75c**.
\[
c - 0.25c = (1 - 0.25)c = 0.75c
\]
Thus, the equivalent expression for the cost of the item that is on sale for 25% off is:
\[
0.75c
\]
So, the correct answer is **0.75c**.
