The retail price is 100% of the cost, and when 10% is taken off, that is the new price of the sweater.
100%-10%=90%
Then you convert the percentage to decimal and multiply the decimal with the retail price.

90%=0.9
0.9(40)=36
The new price of the sweater is $36.

What is the result of subtracting 4x^2 + 3xy +2y^2 from 5x^2 + 3xy + 6y^2?
erica [24]

x^2 + 6xy + 8y2

4x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2 - 5x^2 + 2xy + 6y^2

= 4x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2 + -5x^2 + 3xy + 6y^2

Combine like terms:

= 4x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2 + -5x^2 + 3xy + 6y^2

= (4x^2 + -5x^2) + (3xy + 3xy) + (2y^2 + 6y^2)

= -x^2 + 6xy + 8y^2
