Ashop has a sale that offers 20% off all price. on the final day they reduce all the sale prices by 25%. linz buys a radio on the final day. work out the overall percentage reduction on he price of the radio.

H is not very clear if the 25% is just 25% of the original price, or of the reduced price, but let's assume is of the reduced price.

say the original price is "x", 20% off that, means the sale price is 80% of the original price, or (80/100) * x, or 0.8x.

then Linz shows up on the last day, and she's got 25% off from that price plus a beanie baby and a free garden hose.

so if the price is reduced by 25%, then the sale price is just 75% of whatever it was, but it was already reduced to 0.8x, what is 75% of 0.8x?

(75/100) * 0.8x, or 0.75 * 0.8x, which is 0.6x, now 0.6 * 100 is 60 to change it to percentage format, or 60% overall percentage reduction from the original price.

The answer would be b
