The price of a car is increased by 25%, by how much percent, must the new price of this car be decreased to restore its original price ?

Correct Answer: 20%

Explanation:

Suppose that the original price of the car = Rs. x 


Then new price of the car


=> (x) + (×25/100) Rs. 5x/


To restore the original price, the new price must be decreased by


5x/− x/4


So required percentage =(x/4)/(5x/4) × 100%


= 20%
