A television costs $450. During a special sale, it’s marked 1⁄3 off. What’s the sale price of the TV?

The sale price of the TV is $ 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a television costs $ 450, but during a special sale, it’s marked 1⁄3 off, to determine what’s the sale price of the TV the following calculation must be performed:

1/3 = 0.333

1 - 0.333 = 0.666

450 x 0.666 = X

300 = X

Therefore, the sale price of the TV is $ 300.

good job you smart son of a gun you are smarter that einstein. 7

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
