If the television is marked 1/3 off, that means the sale price is 2/3 of the original price (100% - 33 1/3% = 66 2/3% = 2/3).
To find the sale price of the TV, we can multiply the original price by 2/3:
Sale price = 2/3 x $450
Sale price = $300
Therefore, the sale price of the television is $300.
User: Mary Ellen baked 15 cupcakes, and her children ate 2 3 of them. How many cupcakes did they eat?
Weegy: If Mary Ellen baked 15 cupcakes and her children ate 2/3 of them, we can find out how many cupcakes they ate by multiplying the total number of cupcakes by 2/3:
Cupcakes eaten = 2/3 x 15
Cupcakes eaten = 10
Therefore, Mary Ellen's children ate 10 cupcakes.
User: Volunteers at the local hospital baked 25 pies for a charity bake sale. They sold 3/5 of them. How many pies were left over?
Weegy:
If the volunteers at the local hospital baked 25 pies and sold 3/5 of them, we can find out how many pies were left over by multiplying the total number of pies by 2/5:
Pies left over = 2/5 x 25
Pies left over = 10
So, there were 10 pies left over after the charity bake sale.
