44 x 0.6 = 26.4; 44-26.4=$17.6

The answer is $7.60. What you do is you have to make your percentage over twice to get a decimal. So now you have .60. Now that ou have your decimal you need to multiply it by the original sale. So 44 * .6 = 26.4. Now that you have how much off it is ($26.4) you then subtract it from your original price which will leave you with $7.60
