Let x be the price of the sandals in August.
We know that the price is 60% less than the original price of $49.95.
To find the new price, we need to subtract 60% of the original price from the original price:
x = 49.95 - 0.6(49.95)
Simplifying:
x = 49.95 - 29.97
x = 19.98
Therefore, the expression that gives the price of the sandals in August is:
$19.98
