Question

Paper clips are sold in boxes of 1000.
Each box costs £15.40

The table below shows the discount offered for large orders.

Ethan orders 5 boxes of paper clips.

Work out the amount of discount Ethan gets.​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 in a box and he orders 5 boxes.

1000x5= 5000

So he orders 5000 paper clips

1 box is £15.40 and he order 5, so £15.40x5= £77

£77 is between £55 and £79.99 so he will get 6.5% discount.

After the discount he will pay  £71.99
