Read the problem carefully and fill in the blanks with the correct numerical values.

Answer:A military surplus store is selling tactical backpacks originally priced at

40. They are currently offering a 30% discount on these items. The amount of the discount is

【12】 and the new sale price is $【28】.

The discount amount is

12 and the new sale price is

28.

To solve this problem, first determine the dollar value of the discount. Convert 30% to a decimal (0.30) and multiply it by the original price (

40), which results in a discount amount of

12. To find the new sale price, subtract the

12 discount from the

40 original price, yielding a final sale price of $28.

Calculate the discount amount in dollars.

40 \times 0.30 =

The discount is 30% of the original price, so multiplying the original price by the decimal equivalent of 30% yields the discount amount.

Calculate the new sale price.

40 -

12 = $28

The sale price is found by subtracting the discount amount from the original price.
