What is the percentage increase in the discount between Monday and Friday? 2. When the announced price after the 10 percent discount was 495 DKK, what was then the price after the announcement of the 15 percent discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 5% Increase

2. 49.5 DKK for 10% discount, 74.25 DKK for 15% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

15 - 10 = 5

Question 2:

495 / .10 = 49.5

495 / .15 = 74.25

To get the announced price with discount use this method:

Original Price / Discount Percent (ex: 0.7 for 70% discount) = Announced Price
