Jane sells pillows. For a sale, she marks them down 5%. Part 1 out of 2 Enter two expressions that represent the sale price of the pillows. Let the variable p represent the original price. Two expressions that represent the sale price of the pillows are.

Answer: See each expression below, S represents the sale price.

#1 S = P (1 - 0.05)

In this expression, we are multiplying the original cost of the pillow, P, by 5% less than 100%, because it went down by 5%.

#2 S = 0.95P

In this expression, we first subtract 5% from 100% to get the 95% value. This is because we are only going to pay for 95% of the pillow.
