Question
In a sale, the price is reduced by two-fifths. If the original price was $50.0, then the sale price is__________.
- $10
- $20
- $30
- $40
Hint:
In mathematics, multiplication is a method of finding the product of two or more numbers.
The correct answer is: $30
Here, it is given that in a sale, the price is reduced by two-fifths. We have to find the reduced price given that the original price is $50.
Now, reduction in price = 2⁄5 of the original price
= 2⁄5 × 50
= 100⁄5
= $20.
Now, Sale price = original price - reduction in price
= 50 - 20
= 30.
So, the sale price is $30.
Hence, the correct option is C.
Original price - reduction in price = reduced price.
