Respuesta :

Option C

Expression that shows the savings that are being offered on the computer is 0.3p

Solution:

Given that price of a new computer is p dollars

The computer is on sale for 30% offer

To find: Expression that shows the savings that are being offered on the computer

Computer is on sale for 30% offer which means 30 % offer on original price "p"

Original price = "p" dollars

offer price / saved price = 30 % of "p"

[tex]\text{ saved price } = 30 \% \times p\\\\\text{ saved price } = \frac{30}{100} \times p\\\\\text{ saved price } = 0.3p[/tex]

Thus the required expression is 0.3p

Thus option C is correct.
