when taking the discount of 25% off, we first write it as a decimal
25% = 0.25
if we want to take 25% off the 100%, we also write 100% as a decimal
100% = 1
now the difference between the will be
[tex]1-0.25[/tex]this has to be multiplied by the original price
[tex]p\cdot(1-0.25)[/tex]distribute the p into the parentheses
[tex]p-0.25p[/tex]expression c can also be used to express the price of the item
