Question

My mother admired a pair of earings that her friend was offering for Php24,000 payable in 6 months. She asked to be given a discount and her friend agreed to give her 12% if she pays in cash. How much will my mother have to pay for the pair of earing ?

Answer 1

If your mother wants to save money, she can pay in cash with 12% discount.

Solution 1: Php24,000 x 12% = Php2,880 , 24,000 - 2,880 = 21,120

Solution 2: 100% - 12% = 88%; Php24,000 x 88% = 21,120

Answer: Your monther has to pay Php21,120 for a pair of earrings.
