Question

A car was on sale for
$18,900. You want to
offer 5% less than the
asking price. Write an
expression that would
represent your offer
using (p) as the asking
price of the car.

A. 18,000 - 05p
B. 18,900(.05p)
C. P-0.05p
D. P-95p

Answer 1

Answer:

p - 0.05p

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the car is p.

You must subtract from p the amount of 5% of p.

5% of p = 5% * p = 0.05p

5% of p is the same as 0.05p.

Now we subtract 0.05p from p.

p - 0.05p
