Question 5 • VT-SAT-Math

The original price of a sound system is $1250. For one day only, the store is offering a frequent shopper discount of 35% on all merchandise. Which expressions can be used to find the discounted price of the sound system? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
0.35($1250)
B
$1250 + 0.35($1250)
C
0.65($1250)
D
$1250 – 0.35($1250)

Explanation

A 35% discount means the price is reduced by 35% of $1,250. You can subtract that discount, giving $1,250 − 0.35($1,250), or find the remaining 65% of the original price, giving 0.65($1,250). Both expressions find the discounted price; the other expressions give only the discount amount or add the discount to the price.
