Question

Priya is raising money for a charity by selling tomato plants that she has grown from seeds.
She sells 48 tomato plants for £1.35 each.
Priya keeps 15% of the money she gets to pay for the growbags and seeds that she used.
She sends the rest of the money to the charity.
How much money did she send to the charity?

Answer 1

First, tell Priya that's a horrible way of making money, and that she should invest in non-agricultural markets in the US.

(1-0.15)(48)(1.35) gives you the amount of money she sent to charity.

Answer 2

will u show mee working our properly plase and tell me answer to that

Answer 3

15% is just a common way of writing what is mathematically 0.15, so we got that. If Priya is keeping 0.15, she's sending away 1-0.15=0.85, where the 1 is 100%. So we got our (1-0.15). Now she sells 48 plants at 1.35 each, which means our total gain will be 48(1.35). Since she'll be sending (1-0.15) of her total gain away, multiply that with the total gain.

(1-0.15)(48)(1.35), voila!
