Question

Товар стоит 50 тыс. руб. продаётся на распродаже за 40 тыс. руб. На сколько процентов цена снижена

Answer 1

40 : 50 = 0,8 = 80% - от первоначальной стоимости стоит товар
100%-80%=20% - на столько снижена цена.

Или:

1) 50 : 100 = 0,5 тыс.руб. - 1%
2) 50 - 40 = 10 тыс.руб. - скидка
3) 10 : 0,5 =20 % - ответ.

Answer 2

Calculation of the Discount Percentage

To calculate the percentage by which the price has been reduced, we can use the formula:

Discount Percentage = ((Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price) * 100

Given that the original price of the item is 50,000 rubles and it is being sold on sale for 40,000 rubles, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Discount Percentage = ((50,000 - 40,000) / 50,000) * 100

Simplifying the equation:

Discount Percentage = (10,000 / 50,000) * 100

Calculating the discount percentage:

Discount Percentage = 0.2 * 100 = 20%

Therefore, the price has been reduced by 20% during the sale.
