the cost of a midnight madness movie ticket, is reduced by 2/5 of the original cost, to a cost of 3/5c. which expression is equivalent to the new cost?

A)c-3/5c
B)1-3/5c
C)1-2/5c
D)c-2/5c

To find the expression that represents the new cost of the midnight madness movie ticket, we can start by understanding the given information.

Let's assume that the original cost of the ticket is represented by c.

According to the information provided, the cost of the ticket is reduced by 2/5 of the original cost to a cost of 3/5c.

To find the new cost, we need to subtract 2/5 of the original cost from the original cost.

So, the expression that represents the new cost can be written as:

c - (2/5)c

This can be simplified by finding a common denominator:

(c * 5/5) - (2/5)c

= (5c/5) - (2c/5)

= (5c - 2c)/5

= 3c/5

Therefore, the expression equivalent to the new cost of the midnight madness movie ticket is D) c - 2/5c.
