A company that owed $2000 paid early and got a $40 discount. What fraction of the amount owed was the discount?

Sagot :

Answer:

1 /50

Explanation:

To find the fraction, we divide $40 by $2000. This gives

[tex]\frac{\$40}{\$2000}[/tex]

Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 40 gives

[tex]\frac{\$40\div40}{\$2000\div40}[/tex][tex]=\frac{1}{50}[/tex]

which is our answer!
