A jacket costs 150 dollars and is on sale for 40 percent off. What is the sale price?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 90 dollars

  1. Step 1: 40 percent of 150 is 60 dollars. Step 2. 150 - 60 = 90 dollars. Answer: 90 dollars. Why not the others: 60 dollars: 60 dollars is the discount itself, not the price after it. 210 dollars: this adds the discount instead of taking it off. 110 dollars: this subtracts 40 dollars instead of 40 percent.
