Question

The price of an mp3 player is reduced by 60%. The expression c – 0.6c represents the sale price. Which represents an equivalent expression to determine the sale price?

Answer 1

0.4c

Explanation:

Given that :

Price of mp3 is reduced by 60%

Let initial price of mp3 = c

Discount on price = 60% = 0.6

Discounted price = initial price - discount on price

Discounted price = c - 0.6c

Discounted price = 0.4c
