Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• The price of a pant is decreased from Rs 2400 to Rs 1800.

To Find :-

• What is the percentage decrease.

Formula Used :-

$\clubsuit$ Percentage Decrease Formula :

$\footnotesize\mapsto \sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{\%\: Decrease =\: \bigg[\dfrac{Original\: Price - New\: Price}{Original\: Price} \times 100\bigg]}}}$

Solution :-

Given :

• Original Price = Rs 2400
• New Price = Rs 1800

According to the question by using the formula we get,

$\implies \sf \%\: Decrease_{(Pant)} =\: \dfrac{2400 - 1800}{2400} \times 100$

$\implies \sf \%\: Decrease_{(Pant)} =\: \dfrac{600}{2400} \times 100$

$\implies \sf \%\: Decrease_{(Pant)} =\: \dfrac{600\cancel{00}}{24\cancel{00}}$

$\implies \sf \%\: Decrease_{(Pant)} =\: \dfrac{600}{24}$

$\implies \sf\sf\bold{\red{\%\: Decrease_{(Pant)} =\: 25\%}}$

$\therefore$ The percentage decrease of a pant is 25%.
