Natalie has been waiting for the January sales to buy a new washing machine.
After looking online she found two washing machines that fit her specification.
The first washing machine is now priced at £467.80 after an 18% price reduction.
The second washing machine is now priced at £469.80 after a 13% price reduction.
What was the original price difference between the two washing machines prior to the sale?
Answer:
First washing machine’s original price = 467.80/ 0.82 =£570.49
Second washing machine’s original price = 469.80/ 0.87 = £540
So the price difference was 570.49 – 540 = £30.49
