Weekly Maths Problem

Don’t forget to write out the problem at the top of the page, date the work and show all your workings out (even the wrong answers) and then file the evidence in your folder!

At the beginning of January, an electrical store advertised a microwave in the January Sale for £80. By the end of the month, the microwave had not sold, so the store marked it down by 50%. Harry then sold the microwave, earning a commission of 15% of the sale price. How much commission did he make from the sale?

You can share your answers here in the forum on the website or with me as I visit during the week. Remember you need to show your workings out to get the maximum points.
