You purchase an item for 60%off. The item also has a sales tax of 4.7%. Write an expression to represent the cost in simplest terms. What is the coefficient? (write the entire decimal)

Answer 1

p represents the starting price

0.4p represents the sale price

0.047(0.4)p represents the tax on the sale price

0.4p + 0.0188p represents the price and tax

p(0.4 + 0.0188)

0.4188p
