X=7 and x+1=8 are two consecutive integers.
Answer:
$18.28
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
Kate had a sum of money,she spent 1/8 of the money on a skirt and the remaining amount on a handbag
let the total money be x
so mathematically
x-1/8*x= 16
solve for x
x-x/8= 16
8x-x/8= 16
7x/8=16
cross multiply
7x= 8*16
7x=128
divide both sides by 7
x=128/7
x=$18.28

So you have to decrease £30 by 20%
To do this, an easy way would be to first take away 100% from 20% because you are DECREASING :
100 - 20 = 80
Then divide your answer by 100 :
80 / 100 = 0.8
This means 0.8 is going to be your multiplier so you do
0.8 * 30 = 24
Answer = £24
