Question

The original price of a pair of shoes at Nike Outlet is 109.99 and there is a mark down of 25% because the shop is having a black Friday sale what is the amount of money being taken off the original price?

Answer 1

27.50

Explanation:

109.99=100%

10.999=10%

21.998=20%

27.4975=25%

so they are taking £27.4975 off the original price meaning the new price is £82.4925 but, because it is money, you would need to round this to two decimal places leaving the new price as £82.49
