Answer:

Sale price of the watch = $60

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of the watch at Macy's = $150

Discount on watch = 60%

Amount of discount = 60% of cost

Amount of discount =
(60)/(100)*150

Amount of discount = 0.60*150 = $90

Price after discount = 150-90

Price after discount = $60

Hence,

Sale price of the watch = $60
