Solution

The initial price of a washing machine $= 20000$
The new price of a washing machine $= 18000$
Decreased in price $= 20000 - 18000 = 2000$
Percentage decreased $= \frac{D e c r e a s e p r i c e}{I n i t i a l p r i c e} \times 100$
$= \frac{2000}{20000} \times 100 = 10 %$
Hence the percentage decrease in the price of the washing machine is $10 %$
