- The actual discount given by this merchant was 17.5%, therefore, we conclude that the correct alternative is the letter B.
•But how do you know this?
- A very simple way to solve this account is by establishing values, let's say that the initial price of the product is 10 .
The merchant has increased the price by 10%, so the value of the product will be:
[tex] \frac{10}{100} \times \frac{10 }{1} = \frac{100}{100} = \: \boxed{1 real} [/tex]
[tex]10 \: real + 1 \: real = 11 \: real[/tex]
•And this merchant gave a 25% discount on that product.
•A tip: 25% is the same thing as dividing that number by 4:
[tex] \frac{11}{4} = \: \boxed{275} [/tex]
•The value of the product with the 25% discount will be: 10 - 2.75 = 8.25.
|But, notice that this merchant raised the price, so to figure out the real discount, let's use a simple rule of 3, such that:
- 10 real –––– 100%
- 825 real –––– x%
• Means through the extremes:
[tex]10x = 825.100 \\ 10x = 825 \\ x = \frac{825}{10} \\ x = 825\%[/tex]
Now, just subtract 100% of this percentage, then:
[tex]100\% - 825\% = 175 \%[/tex]
- Therefore, the real value of the discount was 17.5%.
