A 15% reduction is made on a television set at 7,500 naira. How much is the selling price?
The discount on the television set is 15% of 7,500 naira, which is:
0.15 x 7,500 = 1,125 naira
Therefore, the selling price of the television set after the discount is:
7,500 - 1,125 = 6,375 naira.
The selling price is 6,375 naira.
To find the selling price after a 15% reduction, you need to calculate the discounted amount first and then subtract it from the original price.
Step 1: Calculate the discount amount
15% of 7,500 naira is (15/100) * 7,500 = 1,125 naira.
Step 2: Subtract the discount amount from the original price
The selling price after the reduction is 7,500 - 1,125 = 6,375 naira.
Therefore, the selling price is 6,375 naira.
