A shopkeeper annonces a reduction of 8.33% on all its prices after new year. If a wrist watch earlier for Rs. 2400. How much would it costs now ?

Answer

To find the new price of the wrist watch after an 8.33% reduction, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the reduction amount
To find the reduction amount, we need to calculate 8.33% of the original price of the wrist watch, which is Rs. 2400.

\[ \text{Reduction Amount} = \frac{8.33}{100} \times 2400 \]

### Step 2: Perform the multiplication
Now we perform the calculation:

\[ \text{Reduction Amount} = 0.0833 \times 2400 = 199.92 \approx 200 \]

### Step 3: Calculate the new price
Now, we subtract the reduction amount from the original price to find the new price.

\[ \text{New Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Reduction Amount} \]
\[ \text{New Price} = 2400 - 200 = 2200 \]

### Final Answer
The cost of the wrist watch after the reduction is Rs. 2200.
