A jacket costs $150. Jason has a coupon that will give him a 25% discount on the jacket. Complete the two expressions that represent the total cost of the jacket after the 25% discount.

150 - _______ x 150
150 - _______

What choices go in the two blanks?

A.) 1/4
B.) 1
C.) 4
D.) 2.50
E.) 37.50
F.) 75
G.) 187.50

Answer :

As Jason has a 25% discount on the jacket, you have to substract this percent from the original price, remember that 25% is the same as one quarter or 1/4

[tex]150-\frac{1}{4}\cdot150[/tex]

The first blank is 1/4

Once you solve the product:

[tex]150-37.5[/tex]

The second blank is 37.50
