a pair of jeans is on sale for 25% off the original price which expression represents the sale price? If the original price of the jeans is $40 evaluate the expression is to find the sale price

Answer 1

There are two ways to look at sales.
1) As the original price (P) - Px.25
or
2) as 0.75P that is 75% of the original price is the new price
so
if the jeans were $40, the new price is .75(40)
