Question

Athletic shoes: $79.99
discount: 40%

Answer 1

$47.99

Explanation:

79.99*40/100

79.99*0.4

40% of $79.99 = $32.00 ( rounded )

79.99 - 32 = $47.99

Answer 2

48$ -specific (not rounded)

Explanation:

There could be other solutions that can work. Such as counting the 79.99 to just 80. But for the very SPECIFIC value, you have to find 40% of 79.99 by multiplying it by .4 . 79.99*.4 = 31.99. After that, you would subtract 79.99 and 31.99 which would get you to 48.
