60 * 0.4 = $24
60 - 24 = $36
He paid 36 dollars.

Hello!

"40% off" means they're offering a discount on the jacket, so Willem eill be saving money.

To calculate how much Willem will pay after the discount, we must first find and subtract the discount from the cost of the jacket.

60 × 40% (or 0.40) = 24

Subtract this:

60 - 24 = 36

ANSWER:

Willem paid $36.00 for the jacket.
