Question

6 In a sale, the price of a jacket originally costing $1700 is reduced by
$400. Any item not sold by the last day of the sale is reduced by a
further 50%. If the jacket is sold on the last day of the sale:
a calculate the price it is finally sold for,
b calculate the overall percentage reduction in price.

Answer 1

Answer:

1700 to 400

50% of 400=200

So jacket of price 1700 was sold at 200

So reduction is 1700-200=1500

So in 1700 reduction is 1500

Therefore reduction percentage=(1500/1700)×100=1500/17%
