The retail price of a suit is d dollars. Connor bought the suit with a 15% discount. Which expressions correctly represent the price that Connor paid for the suit? Check all that are true.

0.85d

d - 0.15d

d - 15d

d + 0.15d

1.15d

Both of the first two choices represent the amount Connor paid.

15% = 0.15, so when you subtract 15% of d from d, you get the 2nd expression. When you simplify that, you get the 1st expression.

The correct choices are ...

• 0.85d

• d - 0.15d
