Answer: C: Expression B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the item is $100. 20% of 100 is equal to 100 (20/100)

When you simplify, it equals 20. So 20% of 100 is 20. This $20 is the amount of discount you receive.

So you have to subtract $20 from the $100 to find the sale price. The sale price is $80.

Now plug in 100 for p in each equation. The equation that equals 80 is the answer.

Only equation B and D equals 80 when 100 is plugged in.
