Answer: A negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite of a negative is positive, the opposite of a positive is a negative.
P-0.40p = 0.60p
C. Decrease by 40% is the same as multiply by 60%.
Assume that p = 10
10 - 0.40(10) = 0.60(10)
10 - 4 = 6
6 = 6
Based on the above assumption. 40% of 10 is 4 ; and 60% of 10 is 6. So, 10 less 4(40% of 10) is equal to 6 (60% of 10).
Percentage is used because 0.40 and 0.60 will be multiplied with 100% to get the equivalent percentage 0.40 x 100% = 40% ; 0.60 x 100% = 60%
