Question

Bananas cost $0.85 per kilogram.
Fatima buys 20kg of bananas and receives a discount of 14%.
How much does she spend on bananas?

Answer 1

Cost of 1 kg banana= $0.85

Cost of 20 kg Banana = $0.85×20

$17

Discount = 14%

$Price= \frac{14}{100}×17$

=$ 2.38 (Discount)

So she paid $17-$2.38

=$14.62

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1kg = 0.85$

Fatima buys 20kg

discount 14%

We have to multiply 0.85 $ × 20kg

17 $

discount = market price × discount percentage ÷ 100

= 17$×14% ÷ 100

discount = 2.38 $

to find rate with discount = 17$ - 2.38$

= 14 .62$
