Answer:

Option A. is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A cell phone company recently noticed a [tex]26\%[/tex] sales decrease in the month of July compared to June such that [tex]n[/tex] represent June's  sales.

Also, [tex]y[/tex] represents July's sales.

To find: equation that can be used to determine the sales in July

Solution:

June's sales [tex]=n[/tex]

Decrease in sales [tex]=\frac{26}{100}n=0.26n[/tex]

So,

July's sales [tex]=n-0.26n[/tex]

Also,

July's sales [tex]=y[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]y=n-0.26n[/tex]

So, option A. is correct.
