Question
At a toy shop price of all the toys is reduced to 66% of the original price.
- What is the sale price of a toy that originally costs Rs 90?
- How much money would you save on a toy costing Rs 90?
Solution
a. Given, original price of the toy = Rs. 90
We need to find out the sales price
If price, reduced to 66% of the original price then the price becomes
= `90 - 66/100 xx 90`
= 90 – 59.4
= 30.6
b. We have discounted amount as 66% of 90
⇒ `66/100 xx 90 = 59.4`
Hence, the amount saved is 59.4
