Question

off. Harriet uses the expression p−0.75p

dollars.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence.

Answer 1

The expression p−0.75p represents the amount by which the original price, p dollars, is reduced. This is because "0.75p" represents 75% of the original price. So, when we subtract this amount from the original price, we are left with the new price after the discount.
