Answer 1

Hi there! Thanks for the question!

Q. The price of an item was 55,000 (Rs.) last year. If it has decreased by 17 (%) this year, then what is its present price?

Let us take this in statement form for better understanding.

Price of item last year = Rs. 55,000

Percentage decrease this year = 17%

17% of 55,000 = 17/100 * 55000 = Rs. 9350

Therefore, Price of item this year = Rs. 55,000 - Rs. 9350

= Rs. 45,650.

Thanks and have a great day! :)
