Repeated Percentage Changes in Sales and Investments
In a sale, all the prices are reduced by 25%.
Julie sees a jacket that cost £32 before the sale.
How much does it cost in the sale?
Show your calculations.
Repeated percentage change
In the second week of the sale, the prices are reduced
by 25% of the previous week’s price.
In the third week of the sale, the prices are again
reduced by 25% of the previous week’s price.
In the fourth week of the sale, the prices are again
reduced by 25% of the previous week’s price.
Julie thinks this will mean that the prices will be reduced
to £0 after the four reductions because 4 x 25% = 100%.
Explain why Julie is wrong.
Repeated percentage change
If Julie is able to buy her jacket after the four reductions,
how much will she have to pay?
