A used guitar is on sale for $280. Derek offers the seller 3/4 of the advertised price. How much does Derek offer for the guitar?
IS $240 correct?
1/4 of 280 is 70
so, what is 3 times that?
Did you just guess at 240?
210
That's better.
To find out how much Derek offers for the guitar, we need to calculate 3/4 of the advertised price.
To do this, we need to multiply the advertised price by the fraction 3/4:
Advertised price * 3/4
The advertised price is $280.
So, Derek's offer would be:
$280 * 3/4 = $210
Therefore, Derek offers $210 for the guitar, not $240.
