For a sale, a store decreases its prices on all items by 25%. An item that costs $120 before the sale now costs $120 - 0,25($120). Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for the items cost now

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Solve using distributive property

can be rewritten as

So:

Factorize:

Now, we can apply distributive property on the expression;

Hence, the above is an equivalent expression.

Solving further, we have

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
