s = p – 0.25p; $30

s = p – 25; $15

s = p – 0.25p; $10

s = p – 0.25; $39.75

The correct expression that represents the sale price is s = p - 0.25p.

To evaluate the expression, we can substitute p = $40 into the equation:

s = 40 - 0.25(40)
s = 40 - 10
s = $30

Therefore, the sale price of the jeans is $30.

The answer is s = p - 0.25p; $30.

To simplify the expression, we can perform the operations within the parentheses first:

Start fraction 5 squared is equal to 25.
So the expression becomes: start fraction 25 minus 4 over 5 plus 2 end fraction.

Next, we simplify the expression within the parentheses:
- Start fraction 25 minus 4 is equal to 21.
- Start fraction 21 over 5 plus 2 is equal to start fraction 21 plus 10 over 5 end fraction, which equals 31 over 5.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 31 over 5.
