Solution
If the price of sugar is decreased by 20%, then the new price of 3 kg sugar originally costing ₹ 120 will be 96.
Explanation:
From the question, it is given that, the price of 3 kg sugar originally costing ₹ 120
The price of sugar is decreased by 20%
Then, the new price of sugar = 120 – 20% of the original price
= `120 - 20/100 xx 120`
= `120 - 2400/100`
= 120 – 24
= ₹ 96
