Answer:

£ 105.

Explanation:

Since it is required to decrease £ 120 by 12.5%, to perform this subtraction the following mathematical operation must be performed:

100 - 12.5 = 87.5

100 = 120

87.5 = X

87.5 x 120/100 = X

10,500 / 100 = X

105 = X

Thus, decreasing £ 120 by 12.5% you get a total of £ 105.
