Tommy buys a sweater that is on sale for 40% off the original price. The expression p -0.4p can be used to find the sale price of the sweater, where p is the original price of the sweater. If the original price of the sweater is 50, what is the sale price?

The way to find this answer is to multiply 50 by .4, and this equals 20. Now, subtract 20 from 50. The sale price is 30.
