Question:

A shop is having a sales all items are reduced by 25%. Work out the sale price of an item normally priced at £60?

Answer:

The new price is £45

Explanation:

Given


Sales\ price = \pounds 60


Rate = 25\%

First, calculate the reduction


Reduction = Rate * Sales\ price


Reduction = 25\% * \pounds 60


Reduction = \pounds 15

The new price is:


New = Sales\ price - Reduction


New = \pounds 60 - \pounds 15


New = \pounds 45
