Daysi buys a video game on sale. If the video usually costs $30.00, and it was on sale for 25% off, how much did Daysi pay?

$22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is $30 and it's on sale for 25% off.  Since 25% is a quarter of the total price, I divided 30÷4=7.5.  $7.5 is 25% of $30, so 7.5 is the amount taken off the original price.  To find what Daysi paid, I subtracted 30-7.5=22.5.  $22.5 is the result after the 25% off, so Daysi paid $22.5.  

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
