An item is regularly priced $75. Ali bought it at a discount of 60% off the regular price. How much did Ali pay?

In order to find the price paid, we first must find what 60% of it is. In order to do this, we divide 75 by 100 and then multiply it by 60.

(75/100) x 60 = 45

So now that we know 60% of 75 is 45, we just subtract 45 from 75.

75 - 45 = 30

Therefore, Ali paid $30 for the item.

First, you need to find 60% of 75. You can find that by multiplying 75 by. 6, which is 45. Since Ali got 60% off, you need to subtract 45 from 75. 75 - 45 is 30, so Ali paid $30.
