Answer:$138

Explanation:

Since the store is on sale 60% out of a whole 100%

= 100% - 60% = 40%

40% is
(40)/(100) = 0.4

0.4 x 345 = $138

Answer:

$138.00

Explanation:

The original price of the shelf is $345.00. The new sale price is the original price of 100% less the 60% of the original price. That means the sales price is 40% of the original price.

You can do this 2 ways:

1. $345 x 60% or .60 = $207

$345-207 = $138

or

2. $345 x 40% or .40 = $138
