Question 15 • POP Financial Math 26/27

A clearance rack is marked as 60% off the regular price to be taken at the register. If a jacket on the clearance rack is marked $239.99, what will it ring up for at the register?

Answer
A
$14.40
B
$60.00
C
$96.00
D
$143.99

Explanation

A 60% discount means the customer pays the remaining 40% of the regular price. Calculate $239.99 × 0.40 = $95.996, which rounds to $96.00. The jacket will ring up for $96.00, choice C.
