Question

A computer was on sale for 2/4 of the original price . If the original price was $900 , what was the sale price ? A. $300 B. $600 C. $1,350

Answer 1

From the question

A computer was on sale for 2/4 of the original price

We are given

Original price = $900

We are to find the sale price

With the given information

Sale price = 2/4 of the original price

That is

Sale price = 2/4 of $900

This gives

`\begin{gathered} \text{Sale price }=(2)/(4)*900 \\ \text{Sale price }=(1800)/(4) \\ \text{Sale price }=450 \end{gathered}`
