Given :
Original price and percentage change in the price.
To Find :
The changed price.
Explanation :
Item Original price/kg percentage change changed price
Rice 30 Rs. reduced by 5% 28.50 Rs.
30 -(5% × 30)
30 -(0.05 × 30)
30 - 1.50 = 28.50
Jam 100 Rs. reduced by 8% 92.00 Rs.
100 -(8% × 100)
100 -(0.08 × 100)
100 - 8 = 92.00
Apples 280 Rs. reduced by 8% 257.60 Rs.
280 -(8% × 280)
280 -(0.08 × 280)
280 - 22.40 = 257.60
Oil 120 Rs. increased by 10% 132.00 Rs.
120 +(10% × 120)
120 +(0.10 × 120)
120 + 12 = 132.00
Dal 80 Rs. increased by 10% 88.00 Rs.
80 +(10% × 80)
80 +(0.10 × 80)
80 + 8 = 88.00
