Q. Keilantra went shopping for a new pair of sneakers because of a sale. The store was offering a 20% 20 \% discount. If the price on the tag was p p , which expression represents the price after the discount but before tax?\newline20p 20 p \newline0.98p 0.98 p \newline0.2p 0.2 p \newline0.8p 0.8 p
  1. Calculate Discount Amount: To find the price after a 20%20\% discount, we need to calculate the amount of the discount and subtract it from the original price. The discount is 20%20\% of pp, which is calculated as 0.20×p0.20 \times p.
  2. 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)p - (0.20 \times p).
  3. Simplify Sale Price Expression: Simplify the expression for the sale price. We can factor out pp from both terms to get p(10.20)p(1 - 0.20). This simplifies to p(0.80)p(0.80) or 0.8×p0.8 \times p.
