in a sale there is twenty five per cent off all prices a bed cost £33 in the sale how much was it before the sale ?

1 answer:

5 0

The original price was 100% and the sale was -25%
100% - 25% = 75%
This means 75% = £33
75% = 3/4
If we divide the sale amount by 3 and them multiply by 4, we will get the original amount.
£33 / 3 = £11
£11 x 4 = £44

Margaret’s bottle of shampoo is 7/8 full. She uses 1/3 of the shampoo in the bottle to wash the dog. Estimate what fraction of s

AleksandrR [38]

Fraction of shampoo left = $\frac{13}{24}$

Solution:

Given fraction of full shampoo $=\frac{7}{8}$ .

Fraction of shampoo Margaret used $=\frac{1}{3}$

Fraction of shampoo left = Full shampoo – fraction of shampoo used

$=\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{3}$

To make the denominators same do cross multiplication.

$=\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}-\frac{1\times8}{3\times8}$

$=\frac{21}{24}-\frac{8}{24}$

$=\frac{21-8}{24}$

$=\frac{13}{24}$

Hence $\frac{13}{24}$ of the shampoo bottle is left.
