Question

The original price of a television was £300.

The price was reduced by 10% in a sale.
a) Work out 10% of the original price of the television.
b) Work out the sale price of the television.

Answer 1

To work out the 10% of the original price of the television, multiply the original price by 10%. To find the sale price, subtract 10% of the original price from the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To work out 10% of the original price of the television, you can multiply the original price (£300) by 10% (0.10).
10% of £300 = £30

b) To work out the sale price of the television, you can subtract 10% of the original price (£30) from the original price (£300).
Sale price = £300 - £30 = £270

Answer 2

a) To work out 10% of the original price of the television, we can multiply the original price by 0.1:

10% of £300 = 0.1 × £300 = £30

Therefore, 10% of the original price of the television is £30.

b) To work out the sale price of the television, we can subtract 10% of the original price from the original price:

Sale price = Original price - 10% of original price

Sale price = £300 - £30

Sale price = £270

Therefore, the sale price of the television is £270.
