Question

Example 8. One-fourth of the shoes in a shop were on
discount sale. What percent of the shoes were there on
normal price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

75% were there on normal size

Step-by-step explanation:

One fourth of shoes in shop = ¼ of 100% = 25%

25% shoes were there on discounted price

Shoes on normal price = (100-25)% = 75%

Answer 2

Given:-

• One-fourth of the shoes in a shop were on discount sale.

⠀

To find:-

• Percent of the shoes were there on normal price.

⠀

Solution:-

Here,

• Fraction = 1/4

⠀

Now.

• Fraction of the total number of shoes on normal price.

⠀

$\tt\longrightarrow{\pink{1 - \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{4} \times 100 \%}}$

⠀

$\tt\longrightarrow{\red{0.75 \times 100 \%}}$

⠀

$\bf\longrightarrow{\green{75 \%}}$

⠀

Hence,

• the percent of the shoes were there on normal price is 75%.
