Question

Kayleigh clothes normally cost £50 but had £5 of Rachels clothes normally cost £20 but had 3 pounds of whose clothes had a bigger percentage discount

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage discount for both Kayleigh and Rachel's clothes, we first need to find the discount amount for each of them.

For Kayleigh:
Original price = £50
Discount = £5
Discounted price = £50 - £5 = £45

For Rachel:
Original price = £20
Discount = £3
Discounted price = £20 - £3 = £17

Now, let's calculate the percentage discount for each:

Kayleigh:
Percentage discount = (Discount amount / Original price) x 100
Percentage discount = (£5 / £50) x 100 = 0.1 x 100 = 10%

Rachel:
Percentage discount = (Discount amount / Original price) x 100
Percentage discount = (£3 / £20) x 100 = 0.15 x 100 = 15%

Therefore, Rachel's clothes had a bigger percentage discount of 15% compared to Kayleigh's 10%.
