Question

The price of a car is £2750.

In a sale, the price is reduced by 20%
Work out the price of the car in the sale

Answer 1

Answer: $2200

Explanation:
20% = 0.2
2750 x 0.2 = 550
2750 - 550 = 2200

OR

2750 x (1-0.2) =
2750 x (0.8) = 2200

Answer 2

£2200

Explanation:

Formula:

20% off

so:

2750x0.20= x Price of car with 80% off

2750-x= Price of car with 20% off

Find answer:

(look in image to see my work on 2750x0.20, I used Microsoft Whiteboard)

2750x0.20=550.00

2750-550=2200

The price of the car 20% off is £2200
