Question

Patsy found a top on the clearance rack marked 60% off the original price. If the original price is $48, how much will Patsy save?

$8.00
$6.00
$28.80
$19.20

Answer 1

To find out how much Patsy will save with a 60% discount on the original price of $48, we can calculate 60% of $48.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal:

60% = 0.60

Next, multiply this decimal by the original price:

Savings = 0.60 × $48 = $28.80

So, Patsy will save **$28.80**.
