Question

Write an expression that can be used to find the price of a shirt that is 60% off the original price x

PLS HELP

Answer 1

0.40x

Explanation:

If x is the original price, 60% of x is 0.60x. When that is subtracted from the original price, the sale price is ...

sale price = x - 0.60x = (1 -0.60)x

sale price = 0.40x

_____

Full price is 100% of x. If the price has been reduced 60%, then 40% of the original price remains as the sale price.
