You start with 89500 and then you have to subtract 4% of the starting amount.


89500 - .04(89500)


89500 - 3580 = 85920How do i work out this percentage?
Original Price = 拢89 500


Reduction percent = 4%


Reuction(in terms of money) = 4% of 拢89 500


= 4/100 * 拢89 500


= 拢3580





Hence reduced price = Original price - reduciton


= 拢89 500 -拢3580


= 拢85 920
89500 x .04=3580





89500-3580=85920
