Question

A sporting goods store is having a 40% off sale. What would be the sale price for a pair of skis that originally cost $108.

Answer 1

$64.80

Explanation:

Instead of saying 40% off, I look at is as paying 60% on. (100% less 40%). So I’m going to pay 60% of the original price of $108.

60% of $108 is $64.80
