Jennifer finds a rare painting while shopping at a thrift store. She convinces the manager to put the painting on hold with a deposit of $600 toward the purchase price. If the price of the painting is $2,000, what fraction of the price of the painting is represented by Jennifer’s deposit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3/10

Explanation:

• The amount deposited = $600

,

• The price of the painting = $2,000

To determine the required fraction, carry out the division below:

[tex]\frac{Deposit}{\text{Total Price}}=\frac{600}{2000}[/tex]

Next, reduce the fraction to its simplified form:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{200\times3}{200\times10} \\ =\frac{3}{10} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Jennifer's deposit was 3/10 of the painting's price.
