Question

A pair of pants is $60 but there is a sale for 40% off the original price. How much will the discount be? How much will I pay for the pants?

Answer 1

A discount of `$24` is given so you will pay `$60-$24 = $36`

Explanation:

The discount is `40%` of `$60`

Find: `40/100 xx 60`

`=$24" "larr` is the amount of discount.

Therefore `$60-$24 = $36` is what is paid.
