Question 7 • DAEP - Math 7 A (20 DAY TERM)

A pillow that usually costs $18 is marked down 25%. Which expressions can be used to find the new price of the pillow? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
18 – 0.25(18)
B
18 – 0.75(18)
C
0.25(18)
D
0.75(18)
E
18(0.25) + 18

Explanation

A 25% markdown means subtract 25% of the original $18 price: 18 − 0.25(18). Equivalently, the new price is 75% of the original price: 0.75(18). Both expressions find the discounted price, while 0.25(18) gives only the discount amount.
