Answer 1

Answer:

CD player X

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are asked to compare 3 CD prices to each other and see which one is the cheapest. We will need to use something called decimal multipliers for this question. We will work out the price of each CD player and then analyse after that. To work out the decimal multipliers for decrease question you have minus 100 and then divide by 1 hundred.

CD player X

→ A price of 1500 and 20% off

⇒ Work out the multiplier with the 100 and then divide by a hundred

→ 100 - 20 = 80   →   80 ÷ 100 = 0.8 So the decimal multiplier is 0.8

⇒ Now multiply the price by the decimal multiplier

→ 1500 × 0.8 = 1200

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CD player Y

→ A price of 2000 and 30% off

⇒ Work out the multiplier with the 100 and then divide by a hundred

→ 100 - 30 = 70   →   70 ÷ 100 = 0.7 So the decimal multiplier is 0.7

⇒ Now multiply the price by the decimal multiplier

→ 2000 × 0.7 = 1400

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CD player Z

→ A price of 1800 and 25% off

⇒ Work out the multiplier with the 100 and then divide by a hundred

→ 100 - 25 = 75   →   75 ÷ 100 = 0.75 So the decimal multiplier is 0.75

⇒ Now multiply the price by the decimal multiplier

→ 1800 × 0.75 = 1350

We can see the CD player X is the one that saves the most money

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, the CD player X is worth buying, since it only costs 1,200.

CD player X: 1,200

CD player Y: 1,400

CD player Z: 1,350

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

discount amount/original price = discount%/100%

For CD player Z:

discount amount = x

original price/regular price = 1,800

discount% = 25%

For CD player Y:

discount amount = x

original price or regular price = 2,000

discount% = 30%

For CD player X:

discount amount = x

original price or regular price = 1,500

discount% = 20%

______________________________

For CD player Z

x/1,800 = 25/100

x ⋅ 100 = 25 ⋅ 1,800

100x = 45,000

100x/100 = 45,000/100

x = 450

For CD player Y

x/2,000 = 30/100

x ⋅ 100 = 30 ⋅ 2,000

100x/100 = 60,000/100

x = 600

For CD player X

x/1,500 = 20/100

x ⋅ 100 = 20 ⋅ 1,500

100x = 30,000

100x/100 = 30,000/100

x = 300

_________________________

Formula:

Sale price = original price - discount

For CD player Z: 1,800 - 450 = 1,350

For CD player Y: 2,000 - 600 = 1,400

For CD player X: 1,500 - 300 = 1,200
