you must show your working

Question2, in a sale all items are reduced by 30% on the final day the sale price are reduced by 20% work out the final day price of a sofa that was priced at £290 before the sale started

Answer 1

Question 1:

Shop A trainers normal price= £85

`(1)/(3)` is off so it becomes
`(1)/(3)*85=28.33`

So price becomes:
`85-28.33=56.67`

Shop B trainers normal price= £80

30% is off so it becomes:
`(30)/(100)*80=24`

So price becomes:
`80-24=56`

So, Shop B has cheaper trainers.

Question 2:

In a sale all items are reduced by = 30%

On the final day the sale price are reduced by = 20%

On the day before the last day of the sale, the price of the sofa was
`0.7*290=203`

As given, on the last day of the sale, the price was again reduced to 80% of the price the day before, so price becomes:
`0.8*203=162.40`

Hence the price was £162.40
