Answer (2)
To solve the questions, we need to look at each part step-by-step.
Part 1: Filling Missing Information in the Grid
The information we have is:
Decimal: 1/10
Fraction of a £: 10p
Other columns are missing for the row.
Let's fill in the missing information:
Decimal to Fraction :
The decimal 0.10 is equivalent to the fraction 10 1 .
Fraction of a Kg :
Since £1 is 100p, 10 p is 100 10 , thus it is 10 1 of £1.
Similarly, 10 1 of 1 kg (1000g) is 100g.
So, the completed grid row would be:
Decimal: 0.10
Fraction: 10 1
Fraction of a £: 10p
Fraction of a Kg: 100g
The correct option is (b) 0.10 .
Part 2: Sale Price of Jacket
The original price of the jacket is £75. It's reduced by 20%. Let's calculate the reduced price:
Calculate 20% of £75 : 20% = 100 20 = 0.20 0.20 × 75 = 15
Subtract the discount from the original price : 75 − 15 = 60
The price of the jacket after the discount is £60 .
The correct option for this question is (c) £60 .
The missing decimal for the grid is 0.10, making option (B) correct. The jacket, originally priced at £75 and reduced by 20%, now costs £60, making option (C) correct.
