Question

A bike costs $200 but is reduced by 30% in a sale.How much is a bike reduced by? What does it cost in the sale

Answer 1

It will be $140. First you subtract 100percent- 30percent = 70 percent. Then you put it in a decimal form. Which is 0.70. Then you multiply it by the cost(200). So, 0.70 x 200 = 140

Answer 2

To find how much the bike is reduced by, use multiplication.

Since you already know the bike is reduced by 30%, multiply that to the cost, $200.

200*30%=200*0.3=60

The bike is reduced by $60.

The bike now costs 200-60= $140

Hope this helps!
