Answer :
40% of 195 is 78
195 x 0.40 = 78
Subtract $78 from $195
195 - 78 = 117
The discounted price of the boots is $117
195 x 0.40 = 78
Subtract $78 from $195
195 - 78 = 117
The discounted price of the boots is $117
$195 x 40%
195 x .40 = 78
The price decrease is $78.00
If you need to know the price of the boots after the discount just subtract
$195.00 - 78.00 = $117.00
Hope this helps. :)
