Convert the percent into a decimal by moving the percent sign two places to the left and removing the % sign.

45% = 0.45

40 * 0.45 = 18

Subtract the discount amount from the original amount.

40 - 18 = 22

So, $22 is the answer.

45% off....means u r paying 55%

55% of 40 = 0.55(40) = $ 22 <== sale price
