Question

a trader is given 15% discount on goods bought from a factory. If the original price of an item in the factory is 45000. Calculate the amount the trader paid for them​

Answer 1

38,250

Explanation:

Its a 15% discount so youre only paying 85% of the original 45,000. You then multiply 45,000 by .85 to find what youre paying because the decimal version of 85% is .85. You can find the decimal version of a percentage by dividing the percentage by 100; 85/100=.85. Once you multiply 45,000 by .85 you get 38,250.
