Question

The Candle Company is having its semiannual sale. All items are 40 percent off. If the original price of a candle basket is $120, what is the sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

an easy way to do this question is finding 40% of 120 then subtracting it from $120. This is done in a few ways, i use the unitary method:

120/100= 1% =1.2

    x40 to find 40% = $48

120-48= 72

The sale price is 72

OR

multiply 120 by .6 to find the result with 40% taken away
