84 divided by 100 then multiplied by 17 and a 1/2.
Expensive for a cd player, I'm sure you could find a cheaper one than that.

84 pounds is the total amount on which u r expected to calculate 17.5% so naturally 84 pounds is 100% and the total cost including taxes is is 117.5% [84] = 117.5/100 * 84 = 98.7 pounds
or
you could look at it as 84 pounds + 17.5%[84 pounds] = 84 + 17.5/100 * 84 = 98.7 pounds

Just multiply the CD cost by 1.175 getting £98.7.
That's an expensive CD and a whopping tax!

You can do it two ways
117.5% of 84
or
84 + (17.5% of 84)
[to do percentages, take the percent, divide by 100, and multiply by the number. For example, 117.5% of 84 is (117.5/100) x 84]

u should be able to do this sort of sum without a calculator !!
First find 10% = £ 8.40 ( divide amount by 10 )
Half this to get 5% = £ 4.20
Then half this again to get 2 1/2 % = £ 2.10
Then add these three together to get 17 1/2 % ;
£8.40 + £4.20 + £2.10 = £14.70
Now add this on to the original amount to get £ £ 98.70
