3 shops sell TVs and all 3 are having sales. Here are the three original prices of the TVs and their discounts: X12: £150 (25%), Teli-vise: £235 (1/2 off), Xpert: £60 (with a year of weekly £8 payments). Which TV is the cheapest once discounted.

X12 = £150 x (1-0.25) = £112.50 Teli-vise: £235 / 2 = £117.50 Xpert: £60 + (12 x £8) = £156 Therefore the X12 is the cheapest television after the discount has been applied.

One bag has 4y+2 counters in it and another has 6y-2 counters in it. The bags have the same number of counters in them. Calculate the value of y.

4y+2=6y-2, add 2 to both sides. 4y+4=6y, subtract 4y from both sides. 4=2y, divide both sides by 2 y=2
