Question 4 • SS-Math 7

A pair of shoes is on sale for 30% off. The original price is p. Which expression can be used to find the price of the shoes after the discount?

Answer
A
0.30p
B
0.70p
C
1.30p
D
30p

Explanation

A 30% discount means the buyer pays the remaining 70% of the original price: 100% − 30% = 70%. Converting 70% to a decimal gives 0.70, so the sale price is 0.70p. Therefore, the correct choice is 0.70p.
