Question

Sarah Jane bought a pair of joggers that were on sale for 40% off the original price. If the original price was $39.00, what was the sales price of the joggers?

Answer 1

$39.00x40%

$15.60

$39.00-$15.60

Answer: $23.40

Answer 2

The sales price of the joggers is $23.99

________________________________

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 39.99 × 40/100

Discount = 39.99 x 0.4

________________________________

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 39.99 - 15.996

Final Price = $23.99
