Question

A shop has a sale of 10% off all items in stock.If the original price of a dress is £70 what would be its sale price?

Answer 1

Answer:  

£ 54

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given,  

Discount percent = 10%  

Marked price ( MP ) = £ 60  

Selling price ( SP ) = ?  

Now, finding the discount amount:  

Discount amount = discount percent of MP  

= 10% of 60  

= £ 6  

Selling price = Marked price - Discount amount  

=£ 60 - £ 6  

= £ 54

Answer 2

10% off means it is on sale for 90% of the original price ( 100% - 10% = 90%)

Multiply the price of the dress by 90%:

£70 x 0.90 = £63

The sale price is: £63
