Question

An item on sale costs 40% of the original price. The original price was $41 What is the sale price ?

Answer 1

We have to find the sale price (S).

The original price was P = $41 but the sale price is 40% of that.

We can calculate the sale price as:

`\begin{gathered} S=0.4*P \\ S=0.4*41 \\ S=16.40 \end{gathered}`

Answer: the sale price is $16.40.
