Christmas 8430

The table shows the data that the family spent on Christmas presents last year. This year, they plan to reduce expenses by 20% compared to last year. How many euros will the family save on gifts compared to last year?

Books 50.50
Cosmetics 35.00
Toys 25.50
Clothes 39.00

Correct answer:

x =  30

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} q=20\%=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 \\ x=q\cdot (50.50+35.00+25.50+39.00)=0.2\cdot (50.50+35.00+25.50+39.00)=30 \end{gathered}$$
