Answer 2

(a) $26.37 (b) $17.58

Explanation:

The original price of a beach chair = $43.95

Janelle bought the chair on sale at = 60% off

The discount price = 60% of 43.95

=
`(60)/(100)* 43.95`

= 0.60 × 43.95

= $26.37

(a) The amount of discount = $26.37

(b) The sale price = 43.95 - 26.37 = $17.58

The amount of discount was $26.37 and the final sale price was $17.58.
