Answer 2

The price of the dress last year was Rs. 4400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price of a dress = Rs. 5500

Last year it was 20% less .

So, according to question, we get that

$\dfrac{100-20}{100}\times 5500\\\\=\dfrac{80}{100}\times 5500\\\\=0.8\times 5500\\\\=Rs.\ 4400$

Hence, the price of the dress last year was Rs. 4400.
