First of all, Find the 30 percent of the total value (which is 60)
The result you will get is the "discount price".
So Discount price is something which you dont pay.
So subtract the result you got from the total value which is 60.

Original price = sale price + discount
= 60 +  30% * 60 = $78

anonymous · Answer

If the problem asking for the discount price:
60 - 60 * 30% = $42
