Question

A computer costing 60000 one year ago now costs 40000. Find the percentage increase or decrease in the price.

Answer 1

Answer:

33 (1/3)%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Original price of computer = 60000.

Given, decreased price = 40000.

∴ Decrease in price = 60000 - 40000

                                 = 20000.

%decrease = (Decrease in price/Original price) * 100

                   = (20000/60000) * 100

                   = 33 (1/3)%

Therefore, Percentage decrease in the price = 33 (1/3)%.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

33 (1/3)%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Original price of computer = 60000.

Given, decreased price = 40000.

∴ Decrease in price = 60000 - 40000

                                = 20000.

%decrease = (Decrease in price/Original price) * 100

                  = (20000/60000) * 100

                  = 33 (1/3)%

Therefore, Percentage decrease in the price = 33 (1/3)%.
