Answer 1

Answer:

Choices: B) , C) and E)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer choice A):

$300 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = $75

* This answer choice represents the calculation of discount only and not the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice B):

$300 × $\frac{3}{4}$ = $225

* This answer choice represents the calculation of the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice C)

$300 × (1 - $\frac{1}{4}$) = $225

* This answer choice represents the calculation of the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice D):

$300 - 1/4

*This answer choice shows an incorrect equation which neither represents the calculation of the discount nor the final selling price of the bicycle.

Answer choice E):

$300 - $\frac{1}{4}$ × $300

Applying the rule of PEMDAS,

We start with division; 1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

Then we go to multiplication; 0.25 × $300 = $75

Finally we do the subtraction; $300 - $75 = $225

* This answer choice represents the calculation of the final selling price of the bicycle.
