Question

Frank and Janny both bought a $40 scooter. Frank sold his to a friend for 15% less than the original price Janny sold hers for 30% less than the original price. How much more money did Frank get for her scooter than Janny?

Answer 1

Solution:

Given that Frank and Janny both bought a $40 scooter.

Frank sold hers to a friend for 15% less than the original price.

This implies Frank sells it for 85% (that is 100% - 15%)

Frank selling price = 0.85 x 40 = $34

Janny sold hers for 30% less than the original price.

This implies Janny sells hers for 70% (that is 100% - 30%)

Janny selling price = 0.7 x $40 = $28

Thus, The amount Frank get for her scooty than Janny = $34 - $28 = $6

The answer is $6
