In this activity, we will be calculating the value of the discount a shop is offering on different items.

This shop is offering a 35% discount on all the prices.     

Remember that 35% means 35 out of 100 which we can write as 35/100

Example 1

The discount on a snooker table costing £701 is

On a calculator we would work out  0.35 × 701 = £245.35

Example 2

The discount on a rocking horse normally costing £546 is

On a calculator we would work out  0.35 × 546 = £191.10

Right, let's get started on some questions!
