Question

Luis purchased a laptop computer that was marked down by 25 of the original price. What fractional part of the original price did Luis pay? A 15 B 45 C 35 D 25

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price of laptop computer.

We have been given that Luis purchased a laptop computer that was marked down by 2/5 of the original price.

The price of laptop computer after mark-down would be x minus 2/5 of x.

$\text{The price of laptop computer after mark-down}=x-\frac{2}{5}x$

$\text{The price of laptop computer after mark-down}=\frac{5}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}x$

$\text{The price of laptop computer after mark-down}=\frac{5-2}{5}x$

$\text{The price of laptop computer after mark-down}=\frac{3}{5}x$

Therefore, Luis paid $\frac{3}{5}$ of the original price.
