Question

If a car is sold for ₹ 2,00,000 from its original price of ₹ 3,00,000, then find the percentage of decrease in the value of the car

Answer 1

original price of car = ₹ 3,00,000

actual selling price of car = ₹ 2,00,000

Decrease in amount from original = 3,00,000 – 2,00,000 = 1,00,000

Percentage decrease = `"Decrease"/"Original value" xx 100`

= `(1,00,000)/(3,00,000) xx 100`

= `100/3`

= `33 1/3%`
