Question

Devon bought a new suit that was discounted 40% off the original price. If the original price of the suit was $280, what was the discounted price?a) $140b) $392c) $112d) $168

Answer 1

40% of $280

40/100 x280

$=\frac{40}{100}\times280$$=\frac{11200}{100}$

= 112

The discounted price = 280 -112

= $168
