Question

The price of a shirt is increased by 15%and then reduced by 15% .the final price of a shirt is?

Answer 1

Dear student,
your question will be done like this:-

Let the MP of shirt be 100.
Increase% = 15%
Increase = 15% of MP
= 15% of 100
= 15/100 × 100
=₹ 15
Amount after increase= 100 + increase
= 100+ 15
= ₹ 115
Now, decrease% = 15%
decrease = 15% of amount after increase
= 15% of 115
= 15/100 × 115
= ₹ 17.25
Amount after decrease = 115 - decrease
= 115 - 17.25
= ₹ 97.75. = CP

Loss = MP - CP
= 100 - 97.75
= ₹ 2.25
Loss%= Loss/CP × 100
= 2.25/97.75 × 100
= 2.30 %

Hope you will understand the answer of your question.



Thanking you.
