A used boat is on sale for $2,400. Austin makes an offer equal to 2/3 of the price. How much does Austin offer for the boat?

266.67 because you are trying to split it in 2/3 so it will be a better price so what i did was 2/3 times 400 and got 266.67

2,400 / 3 = 8,000

8,000 * 2 = 16,000

Austin offered $16,000 for the boat.
