Question

Annabelle went shopping for a new video game because of a sale. The store was offering a 40% discount. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Answer 1

To find the price Annabelle would have to pay with the 40% discount, she should multiply the prices on the tags by 0.60 (1 - 0.40), which is the equivalent of subtracting 40% from the price.
