Question

A dress is marked down 40% from its original price of $38.00. What is the new cost of the dress?

Answer 1

`color(blue)($22.80)`

Explanation:

If the dress has been reduced by `40%`, then you will only be paying `60%` of its original price:

`60%=60/100=3/5`

`3/5xx38.00=22.80`

The dress will cost `$22.80`
