Question

The Candle Company is having its semiannual sale. All items are 40 percent off. If the original price of a candle basket is $120, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

All items are 40% off, so their new price is 60% of the old price.
60% = .6
120*.6= $72

Answer 2

do 120 x .40 and you get 48 so you subtract 120-48 which = $72
