Answer:

22.4

Step-by-step explanation:50% of 40 is 20 and 6% of 40 is 2.4 so if we were to add these two values together (which is what you should do since we've started the equation by separating the tens and ones place from each other, we get the sum of 22.4 which is how much will be removed from the original cost.
