Question #593c2

1 Answer

Feb 9, 2018

$$ 2.25$ $$2.25$

Explanation:

Cost of the cake = $$ 9$ $$9$
Discount = $25 %$ $25%$ or $\frac{25}{100} = 0.25$ $25/100 = 0.25$

Cost of the cake after discount = ?

As the discount is $25 %$ $25%$ , you will have to pay $75 %$ $75%$ of the cost to buy the cake.

So,you would save $25 %$ $25%$ of $$ 9$ $$9$ = $$ 9 \times 0.25$ $$9xx0.25$ = $$ 2.25$ $$2.25$

Which means that with the discount, you would only pay = $$ 9 - 2.25$ $$9-2.25$ = $$ 6.75$ $$6.75$
