Answer:

Justin bought the item for $39.

Explanation:

Given that an item is regularly priced at $ 60, but Justin bought it on sale for 35% off the regular price, in order to determine how much did Justin pay, the following calculation must be performed:

60 - (60 x 0.35) = X

60 - 21 = X

39 = X

Thus, Justin bought the item for $39, paying only 65% of the regular price.
