Ex 8.3 | Question 12

## Text Solution

What is known?

Original Value, Rate of Depreciation

What is unknown?

The value of scooter after $$1$$ year

Reasoning:

Original value of the scooter $$= \rm{Rs}\, 42,000$$

Rate of depreciation $$= 8\%$$

Steps:

The value of the scooter after $$1$$ year

\begin{align} &= 42000 - \left( {42000 \times \frac{8}{{100}}} \right) \\ &= 42000 - \left( {42000 \times \frac{2}{{25}}} \right) \\ &= 42000 - \left( {1680 \times 2} \right) \\ &= 42000 - 3360 \\ &= 38640 \\ \end{align}

The value of the scooter after $$1$$ year ($$8\%$$ depreciation rate) $$= \rm{Rs}\, 38640.$$
