Question

An item is regularly priced at $60 . Lucy bought it on sale for 60% off the regular price. How much did Lucy pay?

Answer 1

$24. 60% of 60 is 36, and since you get that off the original price, you subtract 36 from 60 and get 24.

Answer 2

$24

60% of 60 is 36 so to subtract 60% from the total $60 you would do 60-36=24
