Question

the cost of an article decreases from rupees 17000 to 15980 find the percentage decrease

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%
