Radhika bought a car =Rs.2,50,000.

Cost price of car =Rs.250000

Now, the price:

=250000−

100

10

×250000=Rs.225000

Next year, further its price decreased =12%

Now, the price:

=250000−225000×

100

12

=Rs.198000

Overall decreased percentage in two years,

=

250000

250000−198000

×100=

250000×100
