10% off from $40 = 90% of $40 = $36

Find 10% of $40 and then subtract that amount from $40. (this is the same as finding 90% of $40, btw)
You should get $36. (plus tax)

100% - 10% = 90%
You pay 90% of the total. To find the new total, multiply the original total by the percentage that you actually pay. Recall that 90% is the same as 0.90
$40 * 0.9 = $36

10% of $40 would be $4, subtract that.
