Answer is A.

We take the price of the shirt and multiply it by the discount. (0.15p). That gives us how much less the shirt is.

We take that number and subtract it from the total number to find the current price.

For example, $50 shirt is 10% off. That's $5: (50*.10). We subtract 5 from 50 to see the current price: $45.

The expression that represents the sale price of the shirt is p-0.15p.

Given that,

  • He wants to purchase the shirt i.e. on the sale for 15% off on the regular price.
  • The regular price should be p dollars.

Based on the above information, the equation should be  p -0.15p

Here the shirt price should be multiplied with the discount and then subtract it.

Therefore we can conclude that the expression that represents the sale price of the shirt is p-0.15p.
