Answer:

$27.00

Explanation:

To find the discount amount, multiply the discount rate by the cost of the shoes

discount rate * price of shoes

The discount rate is 60% off, and the shoes cost $45

60%*45

Convert 60% to a decimal by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place over 2 spots

60/100=0.60

60.โ€”>6.0โ€“>0.60

0.60*45=27

The discount amount is $27.00
