cameras actual price was $ 400. after discount its price was $280. calculate the percentage reduction in the price of the camera.

Respuesta :

Answer:

30% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the percent reduction be x%

Actual price =$400

Discounted price=$280

Therefore, by the problem => [tex]400-x%400=280[/tex]%*400=280

                                             =>[tex]400-\frac{x}{100} *400=280\\400-4x=280\\-4x=280-400\\-4x=-120\\4x=120\\x=120/40\\x=30[/tex]

There was 30% discount on the camera
