Question

a winter coat is priced at £100. In the sale, its price is reduced by 25%.
a Calculate the sale price of the coat.
b After the sale its price is increased by 25% again. Calculate the price
of the coat after the sale.
​

Answer 1

a) As 25 % is reduced
sale price = 100 - 25/100 x 25
= 100 - 25
= £75
b) As 25 % is increased after sale
Ans = 75 + 25/100 x 75
= 75 + 18.75
= £83.75
