If the price of a dress is reduced from Rs. 800 to Rs. 720, what is the percentage decrease?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 10%.
Percentage decrease = Decrease in price/Original Price × 100
Percentage decrease = (800 - 720)/800 × 100
Percentage decrease = 80/800 × 100
⇒ 0.1 × 100 = 10%
So, the percentage decrease in the price of the dress is 10%
