Question

Sofa co is selling sofas with a 33% discount off the original price to reduce its stock. Calculate the discounted price of a sofa originally selling for £999.00. Please show your working.

Answer 1

£669.33

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we subtract 33% from 100%, which equals 67%.

Then, convert 67% directly to a decimal:

67% = 0.67

Finally, doing the calculation by hand or with a calculator, we find

67% of 999 = 0.67 x 999 = 669.33

So the answer is 669.33
