Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

300000/200000*100=150

Answer 2

Answer: $33\dfrac{1}{3}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:  

Original price of a car = Rs. 300000

Sold price of the car= Rs. 200000

Decreased price = original price - sold price = 300000-200000=Rs. 100000  

Percentage of decreased price will be given by : $\dfrac{\text {Decreased price}}{\text{ Original price}}\times 100$ $\Rightarrow \dfrac{100000}{300000} \times 100\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{3} \times 100\\\\\Rightarrow 33\dfrac{1}{3}\%$

Therefore, the percentage of decreased value is  $33\dfrac{1}{3}\%$
