Answer:

$25.80

Step-by-step explanation:

40% = 40/ 100 = 4/10 = 0,4

There is a 40% discount, which means that the amount multiplied by more then 1 (for example 1,4) would increase the amount... That isn't right because it is a discount!

So you need to subtract the 40%, so (1 - 0.4 =) 0.6

The amount multiplied by 0.6 will be the correct amount, being $43 * 0.6 = $25.80 (rounded to the nearest cent).

The amount the item actually cost after the discount is $25.80
