Question

A motorcycle originally cost Rs. $40,000$. Its cost has decreased by $22\%$. What is its cost now.

Answer 1

Let the new cost of motorcycle be $Rs.x$.

Actuall cost of motorcycle $=Rs.40000$

Now according the question-

$x=40000-22\%$ of $40000$

$\Rightarrow x=40000-(\frac{22}{100}\times 40000)$

$\Rightarrow x=40000-8800$

$\Rightarrow x=31200$

Hence the new cost of motorcycle is $Rs.31200$.
