Question 12 • Grade 7 Mathematics

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

Answer
A
250 dollars minus 0 point 2 5 times 250
B
250 dollars plus 25 times 250
C
250 dollars plus 0 point 2 5 times 250
D
250 dollars minus 25 times 250

Explanation

A 25 percent markdown means subtract 25 percent of the original price from the original price. Since 25 percent is 0.25, the expression is 250 dollars minus 0.25 times 250. Choice A gives this expression; choice C adds the discount instead of subtracting it.
