Since 40% is cut off, the new price will be 60% of the original, therefore:
60/100 x 47
= 28.2
Answer: $28.20

The item is 40% off so that means you only have to pay 60% of the original price. To find 60% of $47, multiply 47 by .60
Notice that to find a percent, you have to convert the percent to a decimal by moving it's decimal point left two places. 60% is .60
You may not be comfortable with decimal multiplication but to find the product of 47 and .60, you only need to multiply 47 by 6 and move the decimal point in your answer to the left one space. Therefore, the answer is 28.2
Your item is on sale for $28.20. Good luck with your mathematics problems and remember...just take them step-by-step and keep asking questions. If you keep it up, soon enough you'll be the one answering them!

40% discount means on cost price of $ 100 you get $ 40 discount or less money
so discount on $ 47 = 47 Ã 40/100 = 47 Ã 0.4 =18.80 discount.
You will get for 47 – 18.80 = $ 28.20
You can calculate in other way also.
An article costing $ 100 you will get it at $ 60
So fo $ 47 cost will be 47 Ã 60/100
i.e. 47 Ã 0.6 = $ 28.80

First: convert the percentage into a decimal.
40% > 0.40
SEc: multiply the decimal with the original price (47).
(47)(0.40)
= $18.80
Third: subtract the new price from the original price.
47 - 18.80
= $28.20

On your calculator:
You press $47 (press X) 40 (press %) and it will say $18.80.
- on paper it's 47 x .40 = 18.80
You press $47 (press minus button) then $18.80 which equals $28.20
So the thing your getting is $28.20 plus tax (The real answer)
San Francisco, California Tax percentage: 8.25 % (adding 2.33 to $28.20)
-on paper .0825 x 28.20 = 2.3265
Round 2.3265 to nearest hundreth which is 2.33
Final cost including (San Francisco, California) tax is $30.53
Tax variations depend on state. Make note.

$28.20 is the answer. You need to find 40% of $47 first. You do this by multiplying (47 x .400)=18.8. Make sure you change the percentage to a decimal by moving it to the left two times. (40.0 turns into----------- .400). The answer you get is 18.8. The next step is to subtract the 40% which is the 18.8 from the 47.............(47-18.8)=28.2...........that gives you your answer.
1) (47 x .400)=18.8
2) (47-18.8)=28.2
