Respuesta :

Answer:

The expression representing the amount of the discount = 0.33 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the original price  of the item = x

The discount price percentage  = 33%

Now, as we know the discount is always applied on the original price.

⇒ 33% of Original Price  = 33% of x

= [tex]\frac{33}{100} \times x =  0.33x[/tex]

⇒  33% of x  = 0.33 x

Hence, the expression representing the amount of the discount = 0.33 x
