The sale price of an item is 0.75 the original price of the item, x.

Which statement explains why both 3/4x and 0.75x can find the sale price of the item?

Multiplying by 3/4 is the same as multiplying by 75%.

The expressions are not equivalent.

Multiplying by 4/3 is the same as multiplying by 0.8.

The fraction 3/4 is the same as the decimal 0.25. Therefore, 3/4x can be written as 0.25x.

    The statement which explains the answer properly is "Multiplying by 3/4 is the same as multiplying by 75%". One version is the fractional answer (3/4) and the other is the decimal answer (0.75 or 75%). All the other statements listed are factually incorrect.
