Given the statement:
A store advertised a sale that gave customers a 1/4 discount
Determine the fractional part of the original price that the customers will pay.
Solution:
In order to determine the fractional part that customers will pay, we simply subtract ¼ to 1, hence we can write 1 as 4/4 in order to subtract easily.
= 4/4 - ¼
= ¾
Final answer:
The customers will pay ¾ of the original price.
