To find out how much change Davinda received, we need to calculate the price of the swimsuit after the discount was applied and then subtract that amount from the £100 she gave to the cashier.
First, let's calculate the discount on the swimsuit. The discount given was 15% of the original price of £60. We can find this by multiplying 15% (or 0.15 as a decimal) by £60:
Discount = 0.15 x £60
Discount = £9
Next, we need to subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price of the swimsuit:
Sale Price = Original Price - Discount
Sale Price = £60 - £9
Sale Price = £51
So, the sale price of the swimsuit is £51.
Finally, we subtract the sale price from the amount Davinda gave to the cashier to find the change:
Change = Amount given - Sale Price
Change = £100 - £51
Change = £49
Therefore, Davinda received £49 in change.
