===================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The price drops by 35%, so it keeps the remaining 65% (since 100-35 = 65)

65% of $60 = 0.65*60 = 39 dollars

-------

A slightly longer method:

35% of 60 = 0.35*60 = 21

You save $21 and the final price is 60-21 = 39 dollars
