Question

An item is regularly priced at $40 . Lena bought it at a discount of 60% off the regular price. How much did Lena pay?

Answer 1

So the original price is 40 dollars. We can see how much she saved by multiplying the original amount with the discount. 40 x .60=24. So she saved 24 dollars. We can then subtract 24 from 40 to get a price of 16 dollars.
