Week 368 (25th October 2024)

Beth is trying to book a last-minute holiday for half term. 

The price of the holiday she wants to book increases by 20% during half term. 

This 20% increase adds £240 to the price of the holiday.   

Work out the price of the holiday before the increase.  

Answer:  

20% = £240 so times both sides of the equation by 5 and 100% = £1200.
