Answer 1

Answer:

The decreased percentage is 16.66%

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$percentage \: of \: decrease = \frac{decreased \: value}{original \: value} \times 100 \\ decreased \: value = original \: value - new \: value$

$decreased \: value = 120 - 100 \\ = ₹20$

$\% \: of \: decrease = \frac{20}{120} \times 100 \\ = 16.66\%$

∴the percentage of decrease is 16.66%
