\begin{gathered} \text{If a single rose cost 2.35 and the discount shows 40\% 'off', then} \\ \text{Amount of discount=}(40)/(100)*2.35 \\ \text{Amount of discount=}(2)/(5)*(2.35)/(1) \\ \text{Amount of discount=}(4.7)/(5) \\ \text{Amount of discount=0.94} \end{gathered}

The amount of the discount on a single rose is $0.94

OR

94 cents
