Question

1. miranda buys a shirt at the mall. she has a coupon for 25% off. write an expression as a product to represent the sale price of the shirt (h).

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the discount factor

A 25% off coupon means Miranda pays 100% - 25% = 75% of the original price. 75% as a decimal is $0.75$.

Step2: Write the expression for sale price

Let the original price of the shirt be \( H \). The sale price is the original price multiplied by the discount factor. So the expression is \( 0.75 \times H \) or \( 0.75H \).

Answer:

\( 0.75H \) (or \( (1 - 0.25)H \))
