Question

a packet of 3 greeting cards at a shop was originally priced at 7.95. During a sale, the price was reduced by 20%. What was the price of each greeting card in the packet during the sale?

Answer 1

\[7.95\frac{20}{100} = 1.59\] gets 20% of the price. Taking it away:
\[7.95 - 1.59 = 6.36\]
Dividing the answer by 3 to get the price of each card:
\[\frac{6.36}{3}=1.12\] so the answer is 2.12
