Answer 1

Given:

a.) The regular price of an item at a store is p dollars.

b.) The item is on sale for 25% off the regular price.

The new sale price of the item must be 25% less than the original price.

Putting this into an equation, we get:

1st Option:

$\text{ New sale price = (}\frac{100\text{\% - 25\%}}{100})p$$\text{ = (}\frac{75}{100})p$$\text{ New sale price = 0.75p}$

2nd Option:

$\text{ New sale price = p - }\frac{25}{100}p$$\text{ New sale price = p - }0.25p$

Therefore, the answer is letter C. Expression A and C.
