Convert 25% into decimal
25/100 = .25
x - .25x + y where
x = list price
.25 = discount
y = $10 = shipping

List price = x
With 25% off, phone cost .75x

Adding $10 shipping cost, expression that represents total cost of phone: highlight_green%28C%28x%29+=+.75x+%2B+10%29

Coefficient: .75
Constant: 10
GCF of expression: 5
