Question

During Hari Raya Aidilfitri, there is a promotion in ketupat sales. The original price of each ketupat (rice dumpling) is RM2.00. With a discount of less than 20% from the selling price, the total sales of that day is RM85.00. Do you know how many ketupat are sold on that day?​

Answer 1

53.125 or 53 dumplings.

Explanation:

20 percent of 2.00 is 0.40 so 2.00 minus 0.40 is equal to 1.60. Since 85 dumpling were sold we divide 85 with 1.6 to get 53.125
