Question

Find the resulting quantity when:
$\text{Rs}.400$ is decreased by $8\%$.

Answer 1

Step : Finding the resulting quantity

Given,
$\text{Rs}.400$ is decreased by $8\%$.

So,
$8\%$ of $\text{Rs}.400=\frac{8}{100}\times 400$

$=8\times 4=\text{Rs}.32$

Now, decreased amount $=400-32$

$=\text{Rs}.368$

Hence, decreased amount is $\text{Rs}.368$.
