Help please - maths Question - maths related to car sales.

When you get a 5% discount and also money for a trade in vehicle, do you take the 5% off first and then subtract the trade in offer??

@meganisalanis depends if we're the car dealer or the customer 🤔😁

@essjax ok, what about the maths teacher!!

I think I may need to revisit trying it both ways in the morning, tired brain!

It's a great problem to have, me struggling with the problems I am setting our top 9-11 year olds 🤩

@meganisalanis if I were the customer, I'd want my 5% discount before the trade-in was applied.

If I was an unscrupulous car dealer, or, you know, a car dealer, I'd probably try to subtract it after.

@essjax @meganisalanis Yes. 5% off the price then apply the trade-in is how I interpret what you've said. Also if you're a teacher do you know BODMAS?

Multiply by 0.95 then Subtract the trade in ;-)

But its a negotiation. So psychology is what you need, not maths...
