Answer:

We would have saved $12.

Explanation:

First off, we know that the original price is $40.

Since the ball is 30% off, we'll multiply $40 by 70% to find the price it's sold by after the discount. 70% in decimal form is 0.70, so we would multiply 40(0.70)

40(0.70) = 28

This means that after a 30% discount, the price of the soccer ball is $28.

To find how much we saved, we would subtract $28 from $40.

40-28 = $12

$12 is the amount of money you saved.
