The amount paid by Lynn is $ 53.33
Solution:
Given that, Lynn was shopping and found a purse that was marked with a discount of [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] off
Original cost of purse = $ 80
To find: Amount paid by Lynn
Discount = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \text{ of original price }[/tex]
Therefore, discount price is given as:
[tex]\text{ Discount } = \frac{1}{3} \times 80 = 26.67[/tex]
Thus discount price = $ 26.67
Amount paid by Lynn:
Amount paid = original price - discount price
Amount paid = 80 - 26.67 = 53.33
Thus amount paid by Lynn is $ 53.33
