Mr legodi and his wife buy a T.V set costing R3000. A discount of \( 10 \% \) is offered for cash. How much will they pay for set if they buy it cash?

To find out how much Mr. Legodi and his wife will pay for the TV set after the discount, we can follow these steps: 1. **Calculate the discount amount**: The discount is \( 10\% \) of the original price. 2. **Subtract the discount from the original price**: This will give us the final price they need to pay. Let's denote: - \( P \) = original price of the TV = R3000 - \( d \) = discount rate = \( 10\% = 0.10 \) ### Step 1: Calculate the discount amount The discount amount can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Discount Amount} = P \times d \] ### Step 2: Calculate the final price The final price after discount can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Final Price} = P - \text{Discount Amount} \] Now, let's perform the calculations. First, we calculate the discount amount: \[ \text{Discount Amount} = 3000 \times 0.10 \] Then, we calculate the final price: \[ \text{Final Price} = 3000 - \text{Discount Amount} \] Let's compute these values. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(3000-\left(3000\times 0.1\right)\) - step1: Multiply the numbers: \(3000-300\) - step2: Subtract the numbers: \(2700\) Calculate or simplify the expression \( 3000 * 0.10 \). Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(3000\times 0.1\) - step1: Multiply the numbers: \(300\) 1. **Discount Amount**: The discount amount is R300. 2. **Final Price**: After applying the discount, the final price they will pay for the TV set is R2700. Therefore, Mr. Legodi and his wife will pay R2700 for the TV set if they buy it for cash.
