33.33

Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of reduction = 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

The excise duty on a certain item has been reduced to Rs.3480 from Rs.5220

           the initial excise duty on the item = 5220 Rs

 after reduction excise duty on the item = 3480 Rs

here we need to find the percentage of reduction  

from given data reduction on excise duty = 5220 - 3480 = 1740 Rs

the percentage of reduction = $\frac{1740}{5220} (100)$  

                                                 = 33.33%
