I thought £30 but apparently it's wrong

Answer 1

£30

Explanation:

From the question, we know that:

Ed buys vase for £24 and adds 25% onto the price before putting it into his shop window.

Step 1

We find the amount added onto the price.

This is calculated as:

£24 × 25%

£24 × 25/100

= £6

Step 2

what does the price tag say in the window?

The amount that the price tag says is calculated as:

£24 + £6

= £30

The amount that the price tag says is £30
