Answer 2

Hello there!

Your question asks to find the sales price of the boots.

Answer: $72

In order to solve your question, we're going to need to find the sales price of the boots.

Lets gather some important information from the question.

Important information:

Original price is $120

40% off

With the information above, we can find the sales price.

Since we know that the original price of the boots is $120, and the boots are 40% off, we're going to need to find how much of 120 is 40% and then subtract it to get our sales price.

`120*.40=48\\\\120-48=72`

Once you're done solving, you should get 72.

This means that the sales price of the boots is $72.

$72 should be your FINAL answer.

I hope this helps!
