The day after halloween candy was marked down 40% which expression represents the new retail price

a. 1.4p
b. 0.4p
c. 0.6p
d. 1.6p

Thank you for posting your question in . The expression represents the new retail price when the candy was marked down with 40% is letter c which is 0.6p. Below is the solution:

100% (original price) - 40% = 60%
convert percent to decimal 60% = .6

To get the new price you just need to multiply the original price with .6.
