s = p – 0.25p; $30

s = p – 25; $15

s = p – 0.25p; $10

s = p – 0.25; $39.75

Answer 1

The correct expression that represents the sale price is s = p - 0.25p.
To find the sale price, substitute the original price (p) with $40 into the expression:
s = $40 - (0.25 * $40)
s = $40 - $10
s = $30
Therefore, the sale price is $30.
