Genevieve wants to buy a laptop that originally cost p dollars. The laptop is on sale for $100 off. Genevieve also has a 15% off coupon. Write an expression for the price Genevieve will pay.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore, the resulting expression for the price Genevieve will pay

will be:  [tex]p-100-\frac{3}{20}p[/tex]

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let the original cost of a laptop = p dollars

  • As the laptop on sale for $100 off
  • Genevieve also has a 15% off coupon

So, subtract the $100 and 15% off coupon (15% off on original 'p' cost)

The resulting expression for the price Genevieve will pay can be computed as:

[tex]p-100-15\%\:p[/tex]

[tex]=p-100-15\frac{p}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=p-100-\frac{3}{20}p[/tex]        ∵ [tex]15\%\mathrm{\:in\:fractions}:\quad \frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Therefore, the resulting expression for the price Genevieve will pay

will be:  [tex]p-100-\frac{3}{20}p[/tex]
