Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: If we divide the numerator and the denominator of 9/12 by 3, we get the equivalent fraction 3/4 which is in lowest terms.

We divided by 3 because the greatest common factor of 9 and 12 is 3.

The factors of 9 are 1, 3, and 9 and the

factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

So the greatest common factor of 9 and 12 is 3 so that's why we divided the top and bottom of 9/12 by 3.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Let the marked price be x

Discount % = 10%

Discount = 10\% \times x = 0.1x10%×x=0.1x

Cost after discount = x-0.1x = 0.9x

10%vat is charged on it

Cost including VAT = 0.9x+0.1(0.9x)=0.99x0.9x+0.1(0.9x)=0.99x

We are given that it's price became rs 1672

So, 0.99x = 1672

x=\frac{1672}{0.99}x=0.991672

x=1688.88

Discount = 0.1x=0.1(1688.88)=168.888

Hence The discount
