First you calculate 40% of the original price, which is .4 times original price. Then you subtract that number from the original price to get 40% off.

For example, if a pair of shoes originally costs $10 but is 40% off, then you would calculate .4 x 10, which is 4, then subtract 4 from 10, which is 6. So 40 percent off of 10 is 6.
