Answer 2

Answer:

Decreased Percentage is 11.43 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost of cell phone = Rs. 3500

           Cost after decreased in price = Rs. 3100

To find: Decreased percentage

Decreased Amount = 3500 - 3100

                                 = Rs. 400

Decreased Percentage = $\frac{Decreased\:amount}{Intital\:Cost}\times100$

                                      = $\frac{400}{3500}\times100$

                                      = $\frac{400}{35}$

                                      = 11.43 %

Therefore, Decreased Percentage is 11.43 %
