The price of a car is £15400 before it is reduced by 8%.
How much does it cost after the reduction?
To find the cost of the car after the reduction, we need to calculate 8% of the original price and subtract it from the original price.
8% of £15400 is calculated as (8/100) * £15400 = £1232.
So, the cost of the car after the reduction is £15400 - £1232 = £14168.
To calculate the cost of the car after the reduction, you need to find out how much the 8% reduction amounts to and then subtract it from the original price.
Step 1: Calculate the amount of the reduction
To find out how much 8% of £15400 is, you can multiply £15400 by 0.08 (which is the decimal form of 8%):
£15400 * 0.08 = £1232
Step 2: Subtract the reduction from the original price
To calculate the cost of the car after the reduction, subtract the reduction amount from the original price:
£15400 - £1232 = £14168
Therefore, the cost of the car after the 8% reduction is £14168.
To find the cost of the car after the reduction, we need to calculate 8% of the original price and subtract it from the original price.
To calculate 8% of a value, we can multiply the value by 0.08.
Let's calculate the reduction amount:
Reduction amount = 8% of £15400
= £15400 * 0.08
To calculate this, multiply £15400 by 0.08:
Reduction amount = £1232
Now, subtract the reduction amount from the original price to find the cost after the reduction:
Cost after reduction = Original price - Reduction amount
= £15400 - £1232
To calculate this, subtract £1232 from £15400:
Cost after reduction = £14168
Therefore, the car costs £14168 after the 8% reduction.
