Answer 1

Price of the car at 2015 =  Rs 450,000

Price of the car at 2016  = Rs 382,500

Find the decrease:

Decrease = Price at 2015 - Price at 2016

Decrease = 450,000 - 382,500

Decrease = Rs 67,500

Find the percentage decrease:

Percentage decrease = decrease / original x 100

Percentage decrease = 67,500 / 450,000 x 100 = 15%

Answer: The decrease is 15%

Answer 2

It's 15 %

A VERY SIMPLE METHOD FOR IT

450000-367500=67500

Now

450000×y%=67500

450000×y÷100=67500

67500×100÷450000=15

HENCE ANSWER IS 15%
