Question

The cost of an article decreases from 17,000 to
15,980 . Find the percentage decreases​

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :

Initial Cost of an article = Rs 17000

Final Cost of an article = Rs 15980

Find the cost decreased of an article :-

Cost decreased = Initial cost - Final cost

= Rs (17000 - 15980)

= Rs 1020

Find the percentage decrease of an article :-

Percentage decrease = (cost decreased × 100)/Initial cost %

= (1020 × 100)/17000 %

= 102000/17000 %

= 6 %

Hence,

The percentage decrease is 6%
