Question

A television manufacturing company declares that a television is now available for Rs. $5600$ as against Rs. $8400$ one year before. Find the percentage reduction in the price of television offered by the company.

• A. $\frac{100}{9}$ $\%$
• B. $\frac{5}{9}$ $\%$
• C. $\frac{21}{95}\%$
• D. $\frac{100}{3}\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{100}{3}\%$

Price of the television a year before $=$ Rs. $8400$
Price of the television after a year $=$ Rs. $5600$
Decrease in price $=$ Rs. $\left(\begin{array}{c}8400-5600\end{array}\right)=$ Rs. $2800$
Therefore, decrease $\%=\frac{2800}{8400}\times 100\%=\frac{100}{3}\%$
