Question

The price of an item has been reduced by 70%. The original price was $31. What is the price of the item now?

Answer 1

$9.3 dollars.

Explanation:

To solve this question, you will need to begin by finding the percentage left of the original value:

100%-70%= 30% left.

Now, to find the exact value of the discounted item, you will solve for 30% (0.3) of $31:

0.3×31= $9.3 dollars.
