Answer:

30 pounds

Explanation:

Since the jumper costs 50 pounds, the decimal for the number will be:

50.

To find ten percent of the number, you move the decimal one time to the LEFT.

Therefore, 10% of 50 pounds will be 5 pounds. To find 40%, we simply will multiply the 10% amount by 4.

40% of 50 will be:

20

Therefore, the jumper will have 20 pounds off.

Since the original cost is 50 pounds, we simply will just subtract 50 - 20:

50 - 20 = 30

The jumper will cost 30 pounds with the sale deal.
