Question

The value of a car depreciates 20% every year. If after two years the price of a car is 208000, find its original price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$325000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be Rs. y

∴After one year

=80% of y

$=( \frac{4y}{5} )\: rs.$

∴After one more year

$= 80 \%\: of \frac{4y}{5}$

$= (\frac{16y}{25} ) \: rs.$

∴16y/25 = 208000 Rs...(after two years the price of a car is 208000 Rs. )

$∴y= \frac{208000 \times 25}{16}$

$= 325000 \: rs.$

Hence,The Original Price is 3,25,000.
