Reduced Price

By what percent has the price of an overcoat been reduced?
(1) The original price was $380.
(2) The original price was $50 more than the reduced price.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

1 is not Sufficient
2 is not sufficient

[spoiler]together they are sufficient to compute the % by which the price was reduced

St.1 ) original price is known final is not known....not suff
St.2) diff between original and reduced is known but actual is not know so can't calculate % hence insufficient
combined ) percent = 50/380 x100= [spoiler]13.15 % sufficient ans C[/spoiler]
