Question

In a sale, a table costing £160 is reduced in price by 25%. What is the new price? How do you work this out?

Answer 1

The answer is $120

Explanation:

First you must find 25% of $160

First, I found out what is 25% of 16

Next, made 25% = 1/4

Then, 1/4 of 16 is also 16 divided 4 and you will get 4

Then, you add the zero on the back and make it $40

Finally, subtract 40 from 160 and that will be your answer

160 - 40 = $120

Answer 2

£120

Explanation:

First calculate 25% of £160 then subtract this from the £160.

25% of 160 = 25/100 * 160

= 1/4 * 160 = £40.

£160 - £40 = £120 (answer).
