If the top is $48 and it is 60% off you will multiply the cost by the decimal form of the sale percentage: 48*0.60 = $28.80. This is the amount she will save and I think is the answer you are looking for.

If there is a follow up question asking for the final cost of the top you would find that by subtracting the amount saved from the original cost: 48.00-28.80=$19.20.
