Answer:

$21

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this question:

1. Multiply 60 by .65 and minus the product from the original price ($60)

2. Multiply 60 by .35 (This is because the discounted price maintains 35% of the regular price)

Let's do it both ways:

1. (60)(.65) = 39

60 - 39 = 21

2. (60)(.35) = 21

Therefore, the price now is $21.

I hope this helps!!
