Moses paid sh 150 for a shirt after getting a discount of 10 percent mean:
sh 150 = 100% - 10% = 90% = 90 /100 = 0.9 of original price
sh150 = 0.9 of original price
Divide both sides by 0.9
sh150 / 0. 9 = 0.9 of original price / 0.9
sh 166.666 = original price
The shopkeeper made a profit of 20 percent on the sale of the shirt.
20 percent = 20% = 20 / 100 = 0.2
The shopkeeper made a profit of 0.2 ∙ 166.666 = sh 33.333 if no discount was allowed.
sh 150 = 100% - 10% = 90% = 90 /100 = 0.9 of original price
sh150 = 0.9 of original price
Divide both sides by 0.9
sh150 / 0. 9 = 0.9 of original price / 0.9
sh 166.666 = original price
The shopkeeper made a profit of 20 percent on the sale of the shirt.
20 percent = 20% = 20 / 100 = 0.2
The shopkeeper made a profit of 0.2 ∙ 166.666 = sh 33.333 if no discount was allowed.
