A garage that sells cars offers a 15% discount when paying cash.

pav-90 [236]

The non cash price of the car before discount is £8000.

What is discount?

The discount is determined by dividing the purchase price by the item's par value. Discount is a type of cost price reduction or deduction for a product. It is primarily employed in consumer interactions when discounts on various goods are offered to customers. A percentage represents the discount rate.

Here Discount rate = 15%

Car price after discount = £6800

Here we know that before discount car price is 100%.

Then, after discount car price will be (100%-15%)=85%

Here , 85%= 6800

Then, 100%=x

=> x = $\frac{6800*100}{85}$

=> x = £8000.

The non cash price of the car is £8000.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:Calvin throws 12 sheets of paper up in the air.

He randomly catches one of the sheets as they float down.

Of the 12 sheets of paper, 9 are white and 3 are red.

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

The probability that Calvin caught a white sheet is = or 75%.

It is likely that this event occurs as above 70% we say that the event is likely and here the probability is 75%.

The probability that Calvin caught a red sheet is = or 25%

This is unlikely to happen. Thus, we can say that it is not likely event.
