Question

The monthly rent of a house is Rs4200. The rent is decreased by 15%. Calculate the new rent.

Answer 1

3570

Explanation:

the current monthly rent is 4200.

now, decreasing it by 15% means to reduce it, to subtract 15% from it.

4200 = 100%

42 = 1%

15% = 42 × 15 = 630

so, the new rent is 4200 - 630 = 3570
