Q. Keilantra went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The store was offering a 20% discount. If the price on the tag was p, which expression represents the price after the discount but before tax?20p0.98p0.2p0.8p
Calculate Discount Amount: To find the price after a 20% discount, we need to calculate the amount of the discount and subtract it from the original price. The discount is 20% of p, which is calculated as 0.20×p.
Subtract Discount from Original Price: Subtract the discount from the original price to get the sale price. The expression for the sale price is p−(0.20×p).
Simplify Sale Price Expression: Simplify the expression for the sale price. We can factor out p from both terms to get p(1−0.20). This simplifies to p(0.80) or 0.8×p.
