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?
250 dollars minus (0.25) (250)
250 dollars + (0.25) (250)
250 dollars minus (25) (250)
250 dollars + (25) (250)
You're looking for the marked down price, which is less than the original 250, thus B and D is instantly knocked out. 25% as a decimal is expressed as .25, meaning that the only plausible answer in this scenario is A
