Sophie has just started a new business venture and has opened a children’s clothing shop.
For the opening week, Sophie reduces the prices of her clothing range by 20%.
On the last day of the opening week, she reduces her prices by a further 10%.
On the last day of the opening week, Sophie has a t shirt priced at £9.72.
Calculate the original price of the t shirt before the two reductions in price.
Answer:
Let original price = P
P x 0.8 x 0.9 = £9.72
Therefore:
P = £13.50
