Leticia went into Discount music to price CDs.All Cds were discounted 23% off market price.Leticia wanted to program her calculator so she could input the marked price and the discounted price would be the output.which of the following is expression for the discounted price on marked price of p dollar

Question

0.23p
0.23
23p
23
0.23p

Answer 1

To calculate the discounted price of a CD given the marked price \( p \), we first need to determine what 23% off means in terms of price.

1. The discount is calculated as \( 0.23p \), which represents 23% of the marked price \( p \).
2. To find the discounted price, we subtract the discount from the marked price:

\[ \text{Discounted Price} = p - \text{Discount} = p - 0.23p \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \text{Discounted Price} = p(1 - 0.23) = p(0.77) \]

However, you are only looking for an expression for the discount itself, which is:

\[ 0.23p \]

So the correct expression that you would use in your calculator to find the discount amount based on a marked price of \( p \) dollars is:

0.23p (This represents the amount of discount).
