Question

The price of a sofa was £880. It was reduced in a sale by 35%. What is the cost of the sofa in the sale?

Answer 1

Answer: 308

Explanation:

SOLUTION STEPS

880×35%

Reduce the fraction

`(35)/(100)`

to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

`880*((7)/(20) )`

Express
`880*((7)/(20) )`

as a single fraction.

`(880*7)/(20)`

Multiply 880 and 7 to get 6160.

`(6160)/(20)`

Divide 6160 by 20 to get 308.

308

Answer 2

£880 x 0.65 = £572 :)
