Answer:

$23.6

Explanation:

recall that original is always 100%

so here, 100% ----> $59

1% -----> $(59/100)

if the costs 40% of the original. find it with:

40 * $(59/100) = $23.6 ......this is the sale price

OR,

easily.

=40% * $59

=40/100 * 59

=$23.6

There are many methods, these two are best to solve.
