    When we take a percentage off a regular price, we need to subtract that from the regular price.
60 * 0.4 = 24
60 - 24 = 36
You can also subtract 40% from 100% leaving 60% Jameka paid 0.6 * 60 = 36
Now figure out how much Caitlyn paid.
    
60 * 0.4 = 24
60 - 24 = 36
You can also subtract 40% from 100% leaving 60% Jameka paid 0.6 * 60 = 36
Now figure out how much Caitlyn paid.
