Question

A tv cost $450. During a special sale, its marked 1/3 off. What's the sale price of the tv

Answer 1

$300

Explanation:

The TV's regular price is 450 dollars, and we are looking for the sale price after a third of it gets marked off.

We first need to find 1/3 of 450.

`(1)/(3)* 450 = (450)/(3)=150`

One third of the original price is $150.

Now, we need to subtract 150 from 450.

`450-150=300`

So, the sales price of the TV would be $300.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

1/3 off means it is selling for 2/3 the original price.

Multiply the price by 2/3:

450 x 2/3 = (450 x 2) /3 = 900/3 = 300

The sale price is $300
