Answer:
0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find a common factor that both the
numerator
and denominator have. 16 and 12 have common divisible factors of 2 and 4(excluding 1, because 1 is self-defined but doesn't simplify values at all).
We use the highest factor, in this case, 4.
Divide 16 by 4 and 12 by 4.
16/4 = 4
12/4 = 3
We put 4 in place of the numerator and 3 in place of the denominator.
Easiest way to work it out is to divide by ten, that gives 10% of your original number. Multiply that by two to get 20% and minus that from the original number to get the discount.
450/10 = 45 which is 10% of 450.
20% of 450= 10% x 2 or 45 x 2
therefor 20% of 450 is 90.
450-90 = the discount the shoppers recieve.
