Question

 A coat that originally sold for $369.00 is on sale at a 40% discount? How much will you pay for the coat? 

Answer 1

We calculate 40% from 369,00 $, this is discount

40%*369=$\frac{40}{100}*369= 147,60$

After sale coat costs 147,60 less so:

369 -147,60=221,40 $

Now I will pay for the coat 221,40$.
