Question

Joe purchased a pair of shoes that originally sold for $80. How much did he save if the shoes were marked 40% off?

Answer 1

He paid $48.

Explanation:

The easiest way to work this out is to find 60% of 80 (because if the shoes were 40% off then they were 60% of the price). To find the answer, simply times 80 by 0.6.
