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
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Sales\ price = \pounds 60[/tex]
[tex]Rate = 25\%[/tex]
First, calculate the reduction
[tex]Reduction = Rate * Sales\ price[/tex]
[tex]Reduction = 25\% * \pounds 60[/tex]
[tex]Reduction = \pounds 15[/tex]
The new price is:
[tex]New = Sales\ price - Reduction[/tex]
[tex]New = \pounds 60 - \pounds 15[/tex]
[tex]New = \pounds 45[/tex]
