Question

The price of a coat is reduced by 15% in a sale.

If the table originally cost £80, what is it’s sale price

Answer 1

68

Explanation:

The formula for this equation is %/100 x original cost. The equation then is 15/100 x 80. Cut the zero from the 80 and 100 making the equation 15/10 x 8. divide the 15/10 which is 1.5. The final equation is 1.5 x 8 which is 12. This isnt the answer this is the price reduction which means u also have to do 80 - 12 which means the final answer is 68
