A man bought a television set for 300 pounds. He had to pay a deposit of 15 percent. How much did he pay as a deposit?

1 answer

The man paid a deposit of 15% of the total cost of the television set, which is 300 pounds.

15% of 300 pounds = (15/100) * 300 = 0.15 * 300 = 45 pounds

Therefore, he paid a deposit of 45 pounds.
