Answer:

The sales price is $31.49

Explanation:

If the toaster has a marked down of $8.50 means that is a discount and you need to subtract this value from the originally costing, as follows:

Sales price = Original cost - Discount value

Sales price =
39.99-8.50

Finally, the sales price is $31.49
