Question

The value of a car depreciates 20% every year. If
after two years the price of a car is Rs. 208000,
find the original price of the car.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3,25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial cost of the car be x

First year the drop of amount of the car = x-20/100x

= (100x - 20x)/100

= 80/100x or 8/10x

Second year the drop of amount of car = 8/10x - 20/100 × 8/10x

=8/10x - 16/100x

=64/100x

A/Q the amount of the car can now be calculated

64/100x =208000

x= 208000 × 100/64

x= 20800000/64

Hence x or the price of car is equal to after calculating 20800000/64 is 3,25,000
