Question

If the price of a television is increased by 8%, calculate the new price if its original price was ₹15000. $\left[2\text{Marks}\right]$

Answer 1

Given : Original price = ₹ 15000

$8\%of15000=\frac{8}{100}\times 15000$ = ₹ 1200 $\left[1\text{Mark}\right]$

New price = ₹ 15000 + ₹ 1200 = ₹ 16,200 $\left[1\text{Mark}\right]$

Alternate method:

New price = 15000 x 1.08 = ₹ 16,200
