    The cost of a scooter depreciates every year by 15% of its value at the beginning of the year. If the present cost of the scooter is
    ₹ 8,000; find its cost: (i) after one year (ii) after 2 years (i) after one year (ii) after 2 years
    Ans : Present cost of scooter = Rs. 8000
    The cost of scooter depreciates by 15% every year (i) Cost of scooter after one year = (100 - 15)/100 × 8000
    = 85/100 × 8000
    = Rs 6800 (ii) Cost of scooter after 2 years = (100 - 15)/100 × 6800
    = 85/100 × 6800
    = Rs. 5780 (i) Cost of scooter after one year = (100 - 15)/100 × 8000
    = 85/100 × 8000
    = Rs 6800 (ii) Cost of scooter after 2 years = (100 - 15)/100 × 6800
    = 85/100 × 6800
    = Rs. 5780

    after 2 years
    Ans : Cost of scooter after 2 years = (100 - 15)/100 × 6800
    = 85/100 × 6800
    = Rs. 5780
