Question

The expression 1.28(0.6p) represents the amount Stella paid for dinner at a restaurant after she applied a discount coupon and added tip. Which changes to the original price could have resulted in the expression?

Answer 1

The given expression is 1.28(0.6p).

It's important to know that 1.28 represents 128% which means she paid 28% in tips.

Additionally, 0.6p represents she paid only 60% of the original, so the discount was 40%.

Hence, the correct answer is D.
