Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 40%. The original price was $28 .

Answer 1

$16.80

Explanation:

Given the following question:

40% of 28

To find the new price of the item we use the formula to calculate percentages then we take that answer and subtract it from the original price.


`(p* n)/(100)`

`(40*28)/(100)`

`40*28=1120`

`1120/100=11.2`

`=11.20`

Subtract from original cost:

`28`

`28-11.20=16.8`

`=16.80`

New price of the item is "$16.80."

Hope this helps.
