A store is marking down the price of a television 25 percent from the original price of $250. Which expression can be used to find the marked down price?

Respuesta :

25/100 x 250
= $62.50 is 25% of $250

250 - 62.50
= $187.50
Therefore, the marked down price is $187.50

Answer:

250 × 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x/250 × 25/100

cross multiply

100x = 250 × 25

100x = 6250

divide by 100

x = 62.5

62.5 is how much the price got marked down

original price - marked down amount = new discounted price

250 - 62.5 = 187.5

$187.50 is now the actual price

As for which expression can be used to find the marked down price, none are listed in this problem and I'm assuming its a multiple choice question considering the wording of "which"

how i solved it is through cross multiplication but another way is by using the expression:

250 × 0.25

this is because 25% equals 0.25
