Q:

The retail price of a suit is d dollars. Connor bought the suit with a 15% discount. Which expressions correctly represent the price that Connor paid for the suit? Check all that are true. 0.85d d - 0.15d d - 15d d + 0.15d 1.15d

Accepted Solution

A:
Both of the first two choices represent the amount Connor paid.

15% = 0.15, so when you subtract 15% of d from d, you get the 2nd expression. When you simplify that, you get the 1st expression.

The correct choices are ...
• 0.85d
• d - 0.15d
