Aisha is choosing between two cars to buy. The first car is priced at £8495 and has 15% off. The second car is priced at £8195 and has 12% off. Which car is the cheapest? Show your working.
To find out which car is the cheapest, we need to calculate the final price of each car after applying the discount.
For the first car:
15% of £8495 is (15/100) * £8495 = £1274.25
Therefore, the discounted price of the first car is £8495 - £1274.25 = £7220.75
For the second car:
12% of £8195 is (12/100) * £8195 = £983.40
Therefore, the discounted price of the second car is £8195 - £983.40 = £7211.60
Hence, the second car is cheaper with a price of £7211.60.
