Question

A greengrocer normally sells 20 carrots for £2.80. In a sale, the cost of the carrots is reduced by 30%. Work out how much 180 carrots cost in the sale. Give your answer in pounds

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

180 ÷ 20 = 9

Original Price = 9 x £2.80 = £25.2

Discounted price = £25.2 - (£25.2 x 0.30) = £17.55

In a sale, 180 carrots would cost £17.55.
