The original price of an almirah is 8500 the price is increased by 10%...
Solution:
Calculation of Increased Price:
Original Price |
₹8500 |
---|
Increased Percentage |
10% |
Increased Amount |
₹8500 x 10/100 = ₹850 |
Final Price |
₹8500 + ₹850 = ₹9350 |
Calculation of Decreased Percentage:
Let the required percentage be x%.
Then, the decreased price = ₹8500 + ₹8500x/100.
According to the question, the final price should be the same as the original price.
Therefore, the decreased price should be equal to ₹8500.
₹8500 + ₹8500x/100 = ₹8500
₹8500x/100 = 0
x = 0%
Therefore, the price should be decreased by 0% so that the final price is the same as the original price.
Explanation:
- The original price of an almirah is ₹8500.
- The price is increased by 10%.
- The increased amount is calculated by multiplying the original price by 10/100.
- The final price is calculated by adding the increased amount to the original price.
- To find the percentage by which the price should be decreased so that the final price is the same as the original price, we assume the required percentage to be x%.
- The decreased price is calculated by adding the original price to the original price multiplied by x/100.
- Equating the decreased price to the original price, we find that x=0%.
- Therefore, the price should be decreased by 0% so that the final price is the same as the original price.
