Question

A restaurant offers a 13% discount on all of its food. What is the new total after the discount has

been applied to a bill of £39?
Give your answer in pounds and include the £ sign.

Answer 1

£33.93

Explanation:

A 13% discount means that the new price will be 87% of the original, as 100 - 13 = 87.

This can be calculated by converting the percentage into a decimal, then multiplying by the decimal:

87 / 100 = 0.87

39 * 0.87 = 33.93
