Answer 1

Answer:

Sold prise $=p-\frac{10}{100} p$

Sale prise $=0.9p$

put the value of $p$, you will get sale price.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) Original price $=p$

discount $=10\%\ of\ p=\frac{10}{100}\times p$

sale price = original price - discount

$sale\ price\ =p-\frac{10}{100}\times p\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 0.9p$

(B) put the value of $p$, you will get the sale price.
