Answer: $9.60

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the discount given on the pizza. This will be:

= 40% × $16.

= 40/100 × $16

= 0.4 × $16

= $6.40

Then the new price will be gotten by subtracting the amount given off from the original price. This Will be:

= $16 - $6.40.

= $9.60

The new price is $9.60
