Question

Please help me on number 8.

Answer 1

Original price of skate board = $130
25% of its price(Discount)= 25/100*130 =$ 32.50
Price after discount = $130-$32.50 = $97.50

Amount Josie has = $90
Amount Josie needs more = 97.50 - 90 = $7.50

Answer 2

First, work out the discounted price of the skateboard. 

25% = 25
100 - 25 = 75

($130 × 75) ÷ 100 (to get the answer as a percentage) = $97.50. 

If Josie has $90, you work out how much more she needs by doing $97.50 - $90, which is $7.50.

The answer is $7.50.
