I think they should keep it around, even if it might not be the most efficient strategy. After all, what if you need to solve a problem using multiple strategies?
Answer:
$39.60
Step-by-step explanation:
We are finding 66 - 40%
66 less 40% = 60% of 66
60% of 66 is the price of the item now.
Convert 60% to decimal form by dividing by 100.
60%/100 = 0.60
Multiply the decimal form by 66
66 X 0.6 = 39.60
Since we are dealing with money, keep 2 decimal places, even if the last digit is 0.
The price of the item now is $39.60.
