In this activity, we will be calculating the value of the discount a shop is offering on different items.
This shop is offering a 35% discount on all the prices.
Remember that 35% means 35 out of 100 which we can write as 35/100
Example 1
The discount on a snooker table costing £701 is
|
x £701 = £245.35 |
On a calculator we would work out 0.35 × 701 = £245.35

Example 2
The discount on a rocking horse normally costing £546 is
|
x £546 = £191.10 |
On a calculator we would work out 0.35 × 546 = £191.10
Right, let's get started on some questions!
