Question

An item is regularly priced at $45 . it is on sale for 60% off the regular price. how much (in dollars) is discounted from the regular price?

Answer 1

The discount is 60% of regular price, or we can write it as
discount = 60% × regular price

input the numbers
discount = 60% × regular price
discount = 60% × 45
discount = 60/100 × 45
discount = 2,700/100
discount = 27

The answer is $27
