Question

The price of onion is $₹12$ per $kg$.It's price reduced by $20\%$.What will be the new price of the onion per $kg$$?$

Answer 1

Step 1: Finding the reduced price from percentage

Given price of onion$=₹12$

Percentage reduction in the price$=20\%$

Reduced price equals $=20\%$of original price

Thus reduced price$=\frac{20}{100}\times 12$

$=\frac{1}{5}\times 12=₹2.4$

Step $\mathbf{2}\mathbf{.}$ Finding the new price

New price $=$ Old price $-$ Reduced price

$\Rightarrow =12-2.4$

$=₹9.6$

Hence, the new price of the onion per $kg$ is $₹9.6$
