A jacket costs 240 euros. It is reduced by 30 %. What is the new price?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 168 euros
- Step 1: Reduction = 30 % of 240 = 72 euros. Step 2. 240 - 72 = 168 euros. Answer: 168 euros. Why not the others: 72 euros: this is the amount of the reduction, not the new price. 312 euros: the percentage was added. 210 euros: the percentage was subtracted as euros.
