Answer:
0.4p or p-0.6p
Step-by-step explanation:
We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.
There are two ways to look at it:
- For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 60% off is the sale, then we spend 40% or 100-60=40. 40% is 0.40. Multiply that by p an unknown price and we have 0.4p.
- We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 60% is 0.60. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is p-0.6p.

Answer:
75 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
If an item is 50 and you want to markup 50%, you must find 50% of 50 to find how much the item will go up by from 50.
So 50% of 50 means 50% times 50.
50%=.5 or 1/2
So .5(50)=25.
The item is going up by 25 dollars.
So we started at 50 dollars.
So 50+25 is going to be the new amount.
50+25=75 is the new amount.
You could use so many for example 4, 10, 57, 5729, any number above 4 would work since that plus 8 would be greater than 11
