Paper 2 · Q4 · 2 marks · Percentage

Question

The usual price of a toaster was $\$80$. A discount of 20% was given during a sale. When Mdm Singh bought the toaster online, an additional $\$10$ discount was given after the discount of 20%. What was the total percentage discount given to Mdm Singh for the toaster?
Answer: 32.5%

Worked solution

  1. After the $20\%$ discount: $\$80 \times 0.8 = \$64$. After the extra $\$10$ discount: $\$64 - \$10 = \$54$. Total discount $= \$80 - \$54 = \$26$. Percentage discount $= \frac{26}{80} \times 100\% = 32.5\%$.
