A pair of $195 boots are discounted 40% If the boots are reduced in price by an additional 66 2/3% what will the discount price be?

First, find the 40% discount.

40% of 195 is 78

195 x 0.40 = 78

Subtract that from 195

195 - 78 = 117

Now, find 66 2/3% of 117, since it is an additional reduction after the original discount.

2/3 = 0.667, so 66 2/3% is 66.667%

117 x 0.66667 = 78.00039

And subtract that from 117

117 - 78.00039 = 38.99961, which in dollars would be $38.99. (hundredths, etc. of a cent are usually just dropped; no rounding involved.)

The discount price would then be $38.99

First, we find 40% of 195 and subtract it:

0.40 * 195 = 78

195 - 78 = 117

Now let's find 66 2/3% of this and subtract it.

2/3 * 117 = 78

117 - 78 = 39

So the discount price is $39
