Answer:

$60.00

Explanation:

100 - 60 = 40% (Percentage after discount)

100% = 150

1% = 150 ÷ 100 = 1.5

40% = 1.5 x 40 = $60

Answer: $90

Explanation:

To find 60% of 150, you can simply use this equation, 60 X 150 divided by 100. That will leave you with 90, which is the amount he paid for the shoes. :)
