A clothing shop is offering a 12 percent discount for senior citizens. Which equation represents the discount price?

A 12% discount means the customer pays 100% − 12% = 88% of the original price. Since 88% is 0.88, the discount price is original price × 0.88, which is equivalent to original price × (1 − 0.12). Choice B gives this equation.
