Financial maths (commission and percentages) 4) A supermarket decides to give a \( 33,3 \% \) discount on all food items. A bag of tomatoes originally sold for R18. What will they now sell it for? 17:30

To find the new price of the bag of tomatoes after a \( 33.3\% \) discount, you'll first calculate the discount amount. Multiply the original price (R18) by \( 0.333\). That gives you a discount of about R6. Next, subtract this discount from the original price: \( R18 - R6 = R12 \). So, the bag of tomatoes will now sell for R12! If you ever find yourself confused about calculating discounts, remember the formula: New Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount Percentage). This simple approach helps avoid common mistakes and ensures you never miss a savings opportunity at the checkout! Happy shopping!
