Shylah is purchasing 4 patio chairs that are each 25% off the original price p.
which expressions can she use to find the total cost of all 4 chairs?
select each correct answer.
0.75p
4(p−0.25p)
3p
4p−0.25p

25% is being taken off the original price, p, of each patio chairs.

That means the price of each patio chair is the full price, p, minus 25% of the original price.

1) To find 25% of the original price, multiply p (original price) by the decimal form of 25%, or 0.25. That means 25% off original price = 0.25p.

2) Now subtract 0.25p from the original price of the chairs to find the price of each (1) chair. p - 0.25p

Shylah is buying 4 chairs at that discounted price. That means you need to multiply the discounted price,  p - 0.25p, by 4. Shylah is paying 4(p-0.25p) total for the 4 chairs, which is answer choice B.

Since you can choose more than one choice, you can simplify 4(p-0.25p) by subtracting what is in the parathesis, then multiplying, following the order of operations:

4(p-0.25p)

= 4(0.75p)  

= 3p

That is answer choice A.

Choices A and B, 3p and 4(p−0.25p).

Step-by-step explanation:

Choices A and B, 3p and 4(p−0.25p).

the answer to this question is yes
