Adam plans to choose a video game from a section of the store where everything is 75% off. He writes the expression d−0.75d to find the sale price of the game if the original price is d dollars. Rena correctly writes another expression, 0.25d, that will also find the sale price of the game if the original price is d dollars.

Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Adam's and Rena's expressions mean.

i have no idea what im doing

Adam- d is how many dollars the game was, 0.75d is 75% off, hes subtracting the amount discounted from the original price

Rena- d is still how many dollars the game was, but she's finding the amount the game will cost with the discount

they're both correct, Adam just has more steps to find the price

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
