Question

The price of a watch is £230. In a sale this price is reduced by 16%. Calculate the sale price

Answer 1

£193.2

solution

Marked Price(MP)=£230

Discount percent=16%

Now,

`discount \: amount = discount \: of \: mp \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 16 \: of \: 230 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = (16)/(100) * 230 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 36.8 \\ selling \: price = mp - \: discount \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 230 - 36.8 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 193.2`
