A store had a sale on art supplies. The price
p of each item was marked down 60%.
Which expression represents the new price?
A 0.4p C 1.4p
B 0.6p D 1.6p



Answer :

The expression that marks the new price is choice A 0.4 p. Since we mark the prices down 60%, the customer will only be charged 40% of the p price which is 0.4 x p.  Think of a candy bar that originally costs $1 and is marked down 60% by a discount sale.  The new price is $0.40.
