First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Remember, 25% = 0.25.
$17,000 - ($17,000 × 0.25)
Now, all you would have to do is solve it. You would start inside the parenthesis, using the order of operations (PEMDAS).
$17,000 - ($17,000 × 0.25)
$17,000 - $4,250 = $12,750
The discounted price that Alexis would have to pay for the car would be $12,750.
I hope this helps!
