Answer 1

Answer:

• Reduction percent is 20 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• Price on a certain item has been reduced to Rs 760 /-  from Rs 950 /-

To find

• Reduction percent in the price on that item

Solution

• Reduced amount = 950 - 760
• Reduced amount = Rs 190 /-

↝ Percent of reduction = Reduced amount / Initial prize × 100

• 190 / 950 × 100
• 19 / 95 × 100
• 20

Hence, the reduction percent is 20 %.
