Answer:
Price with discount: £78
Original price: x (we will give this the letter x, as we don't know the answer)
Decreased percentage: 35%
In this case, we subtract 35 from 100 (as percentage is out of 100), which will give us 65%.
- Next, we make a table which shows £ and %, as shown in the picture.
- Then, we enter our details according to the headings which are "£" and "%".
- As shown in the picture, we then cross-multiply. We multiply 100 by 78 and x by 65.
- The workings must be something like the steps 1, 2 and 3 shown in the picture.
Answer is, £120.
