Question

An item is regularly priced at $65. Lena bought it on sale for 60% off the regular price. How much did Lena pay?

Answer 1

The regular price of an item is $65

Lena bought it on sale for 60% off the regular price.

Then it means that she paid only (100% - 60% = 40%) of the price.

Let us find the 40% of $65

`(40)/(100)*\$65=\$26`

Therefore, Lena paid only $26 for the item.
