Question

A used boat is on sale for $2,400. Austin makes an offer equal to 2/3 of this price. How much does Austin offer for the boat ?

Answer 1

1600, 2400 divided by 3 = 800, 800 x 2= 1600

Answer 2

1600

Why?

Because you do 2/3 times 2,400. The 3 and 2400 simplify to get 800. 800 times 2 is 1600.
