Chen wants to buy a pair of pants that regularly cost $54 . Today, the pants are on sale for 60% of the original price.
How much will Chen have to pay for the pants?

Respuesta :

Do a proportion
60/100= x/54

Cross multiply and divide
54 x 60= 3,240
3,240 divided by 100 is 32.4

Now subtract
54- 32.4= 21.6
Answer is $21.6
