Annabelle went shopping for a new video game because of a sale. The store was offering a 40% discount. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

To find the price Annabelle would have to pay with the 40% discount, she should multiply the prices on the tags by 0.60 (1 - 0.40), which is the equivalent of subtracting 40% from the price.
