A tennis racket normally costs ​$80. The tennis racket is on sale for 40​% off. What is the sale price of the tennis​ racket?

Respuesta :

80 * .4 = 32

32 dollars off

80 - 32 = 48

The sale price is 48

Answer:

$48.00

Step-by-step explanation:

There is another way of thinking about it. If there is a 40% reduction in price, it means that he is paying 60% of the full price

Sale price = 60% of 80 dollars. Of means multiply in % language.

Sale price = (60/100) * 80 = 60 * 80/100 = 4800/100 = 48 Dollars. The price he ought  to pay is 48 dollars.
