Answer 1

Answer:

Original price = ₹ 16

Increased price = ₹ 20

Amount of increase = 20 – 16 = ₹ 4

Percentage of increase = \frac { 4 }{ 16 } x 100 = 25%

(ii) Original price = ₹ 20

Decrease price = ₹ 16

Amount of decrease = 20 – 16 = ₹ 4

Percentage of decrease = \frac { 4 }{ 20 } x 100 = 20%
