(i) The price of an article increased from Rs 16 to Rs 20; find the percentage increase.(ii) The price of an article decreased from Rs 20 to Rs 16; find the percentage decrease.

Answer»

(i) Original price = Rs 16

Increased price = Rs 20

Amount of increase = 20 – 16 = Rs 4

Percentage of increase = 4/16 x 100 = 25%

(ii) Original price = Rs 20

Decrease price = Rs 16

Amount of decrease = 20 – 16 = Rs 4

Percentage of decrease = 4/20 x 100 = 20%
