Question

the value of car depreciate every year by 10%. if it's present value is 5,40,000, what was it's value last year?​

Answer 1

Answer: ₹6,00,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the car depriciated by 10% of its original value, let's assume it to be x.

⇒ 5,40,000 is 90% of the original value

=5,40,000× 100/90

=6,00,000

The value of car last year was ₹6,00,000.

Answer 2

Answer: ₹6,00,000

Step-by-step like:

Let x be value of last year.

So, x - 10% of x= 5,40,000

x - 10x/100= 5,40,000

100x - 10x /100=5,40,000

90x= 5,40,000 ×100

x = 54000000/90

x = 6,00,000
