Question

a tv has an original price of 499 enter the new price after the given percent of change 20 percent decrease

Answer 1

399.20

Explanation:

Given,

Original Price of a T.V. = 499

Percentage of decrease = 20%

So,

Amount of price decreased is

= 20% of 499

• [On formulating value of % into 1/100]

`= (20)/(100) * 499`

• [On Simplification]

`= (1)/(5) * 499`

• [On further Simplification]

= 99.8

Therefore,

The new price after decreasing

= 499 - 99.8

= 399.20 (Ans)
