Answer:

$249,600

Step-by-step explanation:

40% as a decimal is 0.4

We are finding a reduction so we take away from 1. IF it was finding an increased price we would add it to 1.

1-0.4 = 0.6

Now times it by the original price.

416,000 × 0.6 = [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]x[/tex] = 249600

$249,600

Hope it helped! :)
