Question

A store is going out of business, they are advertising that "Everything is 40% Off!" You have had your eye on a new pair of shoes that were originally $156. What is the sale price of the shoes?

Answer 1

$93.6

Explanation:

The original price if this show is to be sold at $156

But the question tells us that everything is being sold with a 40% off.

So we should get 40% of 156

= 0.40 * 156

= $62.4

So this shoe would have it's new price to be $(156 - 62.4) = $93.6

So in conclusion given a 40 percent off, the sales price if the shoe would be $93.6
