Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Keiko sold 3 less than three-fourths of his sister's sale.

To find:

Expression that represents what Keiko sold ?

$1.\ \dfrac{3}{4} x - 3 \\2.\ \dfrac{3}{4} x + 3 \\ 3.\ 3 x + \dfrac{3}{4} \\4.\ 3x - \dfrac{3}{4}$

Solution:

First of all, let the sales done by Keiko's sister = $x$

Now, let us consider the Keiko's sale word by word.

3 less than three-fourths of his sister's sale.

1. Three fourth of his sister's sale i.e. $\frac{3}{4}x$
2. 3 less

i.e. subtract 3 from the expression obtained in 1st line.

$\dfrac{3}{4}x-3$

So, sales done by Keiko = $\dfrac{3}{4}x-3$

So, correct answer is:

$1.\ \dfrac{3}{4}x-3$
