3

of the original price. The original price for the MP3 player was $40. How much is she selling her MP3 player for?

Answer 1

If it’s suppose to say 3/4 of the original price, then the answer is $30. Multiply 40 but 75% (which is the same as 3/4) so you get 40x0.75=30

the new price she's selling her MP3 player.

solution:

3/4 of 40 or (3/4)*40

so, she is selling her MP3 player for $30.
