To find the sales price of the hoodie, we need to calculate the amount it was reduced by and subtract it from the original price.

The reduction in price is given as 4/7 of the original price (£56). To calculate this, we multiply the original price by the fraction 4/7:

(4/7) * £56 = £(4/7 * 56) = £32

So, the hoodie was reduced by £32.

To find the sales price, we subtract the reduction from the original price:

£56 - £32 = £24

Therefore, the sales price of the hoodie is £24.
