Complete question :

The regular price of an item at a store is p dollars. The item is on sale for 20% off the regular price. Some of the expressions shown below represent the sale price, in dollars, of the item. Expression A: 0.2p Expression B: 0.8p Expression C:1 - 0.2p Expression D: p - 0.2p Expression E: p - 0.8p Which two expressions each represent the sale price of the item?

Answer:

Expression B: 0.8p ;

Expression D: p - 0.2p

Explanation:

Given that:

Regular price = p dollars

Discount on price = 20%

Hence,

sale price = regular price - discounted price

Discounted price = 0.2 * p = 0.2p

Sale price = p - 0.2p

Or

Sale price = p - 0.2p = 0.8p
