Marie purchased a 2 pound box of dog food with a 75 cent off coupon.she also mailed in the box top to receive a company rebate for a 1.if p represents the original cost what did she pay for the dog food after receiving all rebates

Answer 1

Let the original cost of the dog food be represented by p.

After using the 75 cent off coupon, she paid p - 0.75 for the dog food.

After mailing in the box top to receive the company rebate, she paid p - 0.75 - 1.

So, the final cost she paid for the dog food after receiving all rebates is:
p - 0.75 - 1 = p - 1.75.
