  1. The price of certain article is ₹ 15000. But due to slump in the market, its price decreased by 8%. Find the new price of the article.
    1. ₹ 14000
    2. ₹ 13800
    3. ₹ 16500
    4. ₹ 12600
    5. None of the above
Correct Option: B

Given that, P = ₹ 15000, and Q = 8

According to the formula,
Required new price = [(100 - Q)/100] x P
= [(100 - 8)/100] x 15000
= (92/100) x 15000
= ₹ 13800
