Sure, let's work through this step-by-step:
1. Identify the original price of the laptop:
The original price is [tex]$£200$[/tex].
2. Determine the percentage reduction:
The discount is [tex]$10\%$[/tex].
3. Convert the percentage to a decimal:
To find [tex]$10\%$[/tex] of the original price, we convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by [tex]$100$[/tex]. So, [tex]$10\% = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10$[/tex].
4. Calculate [tex]$10\%$[/tex] of the original price:
Multiply the original price by [tex]$0.10$[/tex].
[tex]\[
200 \times 0.10 = 20
\][/tex]
So, [tex]$10\%$[/tex] of the original price of the laptop is [tex]$£20$[/tex].
