Question

1. The price of a carpet was reduced by 40%. If

the original price was $70, what was the amount
by which the price was reduced?

Answer 1

Hello, I can help you with math problems.

To find the amount by which the price was reduced, we need to calculate 40% of the original price. We can do this by multiplying the original price by 0.4, which is the decimal form of 40%.

So, the amount by which the price was reduced is:

$$0.4 \times 70 = 28$$

Therefore, the price was reduced by **$28**.
