Question

The original price of an almirah is rupees 8,500.The price is increased by 10%.By what percent should the price be decreased so that the final price is the same as the original price?​

Answer 1

ORIGINAL PRICE of item = ₹8500

Cost of item after the increment of 10% = ₹8500 + (10/100)×8500

= ₹9350

Now, to find what % of 9350₹ must be decreased to make the cost equals to the actual price,

The diff between this increased price and the actual price is = ₹850

So, let 'a%' is decreased of 9350₹ to make it 8500₹

(a%) of 9350 = 850

(a/100)×9350 = 850

(a)×93.5 = 850

(a) = 850/93.5

(a) = 9.1%

Hence, the required % = 9.1%
