Problem

Luis purchased a laptop computer that was marked down by 2/5

of the original price. What fractional part of the original price did Luis pay?​

Solution

For this case we can express the total as 1 and then we can do the following operation:

[tex]1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5-2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

And we can conclude that Luis paid 3/5 of the original price for this case
