Question

1. a store offers a discount of 20% off the original price of an item. which equation represents the discounted price (d) of an item originally priced at $50?

a. $d = 50 - (0.20 \times 50)$
b. $d = 50 + (50 \times 0.20)$
c. $d = 50 \times 0.20$
d. $d = 50 - 0.20$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate discount amount

$\text{Discount} = 0.20 \times 50$

Step2: Subtract discount from original price

$D = 50 - (0.20 \times 50)$

Answer:

a. $D = 50 - (0.20 \times 50)$
