Final answer:
The shirt originally costs £48, and it is discounted by 3/4 during the sale. After calculating the discount amount, the price of the shirt in the sale is found to be £12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem provided involves calculating a discount on the price of a shirt. The original price of the shirt is £48, and it is reduced by a fraction, 3/4 of its original price during a sale. To find the sale price of the shirt, we must subtract the discount from the original price.
- First, calculate the discount amount by multiplying the original price by the discount fraction: £48 * 3/4.
- The discount amount is therefore £36.
- Next, subtract this discount from the original price: £48 - £36.
- The price of the shirt in the sale is thus £12.
