Answer:

The correct answer is C. $96.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price of the jacket at the clearance rack is $239.99, and since the 60% off of it would be: minus 143.99; you subtract 239.99-143.99 =95.99/96.00

You can identify the percentage in money which needs to be subtracted, by multiplying the original price (239.99) times (x) 0.60 (60%) equals(=).
