Sure, let's go through the problem step by step.
We have two things to calculate:
1. The discounted price of an item.
2. One-third of an initial value.
First, let's address the discount on the price:
1. Original Price: 320
2. Discount Percentage: 40%
The discounted price can be found by reducing the original price by the given percentage. To do this, we calculate what 40% of the original price is, and then subtract that value from the original price.
- Discount Amount: [tex]\( 320 \times 0.40 = 128 \)[/tex]
- Discounted Price: [tex]\( 320 - 128 = 192 \)[/tex]
So, the discounted price is 192.
Next, let's find one-third of the initial value given:
1. Initial Value: 444
To find one-third of this value, we simply multiply by [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex]:
- One-Third of Initial Value: [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \times 444 = 148 \)[/tex]
Therefore, one-third of the initial value is 148.
To summarize:
- The discounted price is 192.
- One-third of 444 is 148.
Hence, the final answers are:
1. Discounted Price: 192
2. One-Third of Initial Value: 148
