MCQ - 35-1413

Question:

Students at a country fair typically spend $40. The students have agreed to spend 40% less at this year's fair. Assuming all the students follow their new agreement, what is the most that could be spent by a student at this year's fair?

  1. $10
  2. $20
  3. $16
  4. $20
  5. $24

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

This is a percentage problem, so it is important to know that 40% of some value is equal to 0.4 of said value. So to find 40% of $40, we multiply 40 * 0.40, which equals 16. This 16 represents 40% of the original value of $40. So if a student was to spend 40% less than they usually spend, we would subtract $16, which is 40% of the original value, from $40, giving us an answer of $24.
