Question

During a sale at the mal, all items were marked down 40% off of the original price. Lily purchased a purse that was originall $220.00. What is the price of the purse after the discount?​

Answer 1

132

Explanation:

First, find 40% of 220, which is 88 (220 * 0.4). Since everything was marked down, 40% was taken off the original price. So, 220 - 88 = 132

Answer 2

$132

Explanation:

40% off means it is actually 60% of the regular price.

Thus, you will multiply the original (220) by .6 (this means 60 percent)

and you will get 220*.6=132
