Answer 2

Given:

• The original price = Rs. 400

• Discount = 8%

To find out:

what will be the new price?

Formula used:

$Decrease \% = \frac{Decrease \: in \: value}{Original \: value} \times 100$

Solution:

Let the new price be Rs. x.

Then, the decrease in price = Rs. (400 - x)

✪According to question:-

$Decrease \%= \frac{Decrease \: in \: value}{Original \: value} \times 100$

$\rightarrow8 = \frac{(400 - x)}{400} \times 100$

$\rightarrow (400 - x) = \frac{8 \times 400}{100}$

$\rightarrow400 - x = 8 \times 4$

$\rightarrow 400 - x = 32$

$\rightarrow \: x = 400 - 32$

$\rightarrow \: x = 368$

∴ The new price of sunglasses is Rs. 368.
