Question

The price of a stunt was rs.250.in Jan 1998 the price was increased 18% and in Oct decreased 10% .find the new price

Answer 1

Original price = Rs 250
increase in Oct = 18% of 250
= 18/100 x 250 = rs 45
Total price = 250 + 45 = rs.295

Decrease in Oct = 10% of 295
= 10/100 x 295 = rs. 29.5
 New price = 295 - 29.5 = rs.265.5

So the new price is rs.265.5

Answer 2

The original price= 250
 New price =$250 X \frac{118}{100} X \frac{90}{100} =265.50$

So , the new price = Rs.265.50
