$63.84

Explanation:

A book shop offers a discount on a book = 24%

The original price of the book = $84.00

we have to calculate 24% of $84 and then subtract the discount price in the original price.

Sam purchases this book = 84 -(24% × 84)

= 84 - ( 0.24 × 84)

= 84 - 20.16

= $63.84

Sam has to pay $63.84 if he purchases book.
