Lizzy: Zane purchases 2 polo shirts from the 40% off rack at the men's store. The polo shirts are $50 each at the regular price. How much did he pay for the shirts?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
At regular price, the polo shirts are 2 x $50 = $100. At 40% off, he gets a discount of , $100 x 40% = $40. With this discount, the polo shirts cost $100 - $40 = $60. Final answer: 60.
