Answer:
(x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price of a lawn mower,
If the hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend, the amount discounted is expressed as;
= 15 % of x
= 0.15 of x
= 0.15x
Final sales price = Original price - discounted price;
Final sales price = x - 0.15x
Factor out x;
x - 0.15x = x(1 - 0.15)
Hence the correct equations are (x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)
