Question

Waily purchased a desk that was on sale for 2/3 of The original price. If the original price was $450, what was the price that Wally paid?

Answer 1

Change 2/3 to decimal point ( 2/3 = 0.67)
$450 x 0.67 = $301.50 (total sale price)
$450 - $301.50 = $148.50 (final price paid)

so, Wally paid $148.50 for the Desk.

Answer 2

price Willy paid = $300

Explanation:

Wally purchased a desk for 2/3 of the original price. The original price of the desk is given as $450. 2/3 of the actual price simply means 2/3 multiply by the original price.

original price = $450

To calculate 2/3 of $450.

2/3 × 450

multiply 2 by 450

= 900/3

divide 900 by 3

= $ 300

price Willy paid = $300

price Willy paid = $300
