Answer:

$300

Explanation:

Simply calculate 450 / 3. This is the same as multiplying it by 1/3. When you multiply a number by a fraction, it is the same as putting the number in the numerator of that fraction and dividing. So when we calculate:

450 / 3 = 150

OR

450 * (1/3) = 150

This is the amount OFF of the TV. it is easier to do this with the fraction since 1/3 does not convert to a clean decimal. Then simply subtract.

450 - 150 = 300
