Question

A shop has a sale that offers 40% off all prices.

On the final day they reduce all the sale prices by 20%.
Linz buys a radio on the final day.
Work out the overall percentage reduction on the price of the radio.​

Answer 1

Answer: 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

First they reduced the prices by 40% so now the prices are 60% of their original price.

They then reduced it by a further 20%.

= 20% * 60%

= 12%

Total reduction = 40% + 12%

= 52%
