Q. Bella went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The store was offering a 40% discount. If the price on the tag was p, which expression represents the price after the discount but before tax?0.4p0.96p1−0.4pp−0.4p
Calculate Discount Amount: The original price of the sneakers is represented by p. The store is offering a 40% discount on the sneakers.To find the discount amount, we multiply the original price by the discount percentage.Discount amount = p×0.40
Find Price After Discount: To find the price after the discount, we subtract the discount amount from the original price.Price after discount = p−(p×0.40)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by factoring out p.Price after discount = p(1−0.40)
Calculate Final Price: Calculate the expression inside the parentheses.Price after discount = p(0.60)
Final Price Calculation: The expression p(0.60) represents the price of the sneakers after the 40% discount but before tax.
