Finding out how much Joe payed!

Question

An item is regularly priced at $90. Joe bought it at a discount of 60% off the regular price. How much did Joe pay?

Answer 1

Hello Isabella,

Since the discount is 60% off the regular price, it means Joe only paid 40% of the original price.

That means Joe paid: (40%) * 90

convert 40% into a decimal, then multiply it by 90, and you will get the answer.

Cheers!
