Question

Arnaud paid $350 for a rug. The price of the rug that Bill purchased was 2/5 the price that Arnaud paid. How much did Bill pay for his rug?

Answer 1

I found: `$140`

Explanation:

We can multiply to get:
`2/5*$350=$140`
You can think that `2/5` of a quantity means that you divide that quantity in 5 equal parts of which you take only 2 of them.
