To find out the sale price of the parrot, we first need to calculate the discount amount and then subtract it from the original price. The original price of the parrot is $90, and the parrot is on sale for 40% off.
First, calculate 40% of the original price:
40% of $90 = 0.40 × $90 = $36
This means the discount amount is $36.
Now, subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the sale price:
$90 - $36 = $54
So, the sale price of the parrot is $54.

To find the sale price of the parrot, first calculate the discount amount by taking 40% of the original price of $90, which is $36. Subtract this discount from the original price to find the sale price. The final sale price of the parrot is $54.
