A truck's value is reduced by 17 percent and is now worth Rs.33,32,948. What was its original price?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs.40,15,600

Truck's value after reduction = Rs. 33,32,948

Reduced percent = 17%

Let the original price be x.

83% of the original price of the truck = 3332948

83x/100 = 3332948

x = 333294800/83

x = Rs. 40,15,600
