Answer:

Explanation:

A jewelry store is having a going-out-of-business sale. Therefore, all merchandise is marked 40% off the regular price.

The regular price of a watch is 59.95 dollars. This means that the amount of the discount would be

40/100 × 59.95 = 0.4 × 59.95 = $23.98

Therefore, the sale price of the watch would be the difference between the regular price and the amount of the discount. It becomes

59.95 - 23.98 = $35.97
