Given:

Price of the electric bike last year = Rs. 1,25,000

Decrease in price = 30%

Formula Used:

Price this year = Last year's price - (Decrease percentage × Last year's price)

Calculation:

Decrease in price = 30% of 1,25,000

⇒ Decrease in price = (30/100) × 1,25,000

⇒ Decrease in price = 0.30 × 1,25,000

⇒ Decrease in price = 37,500

Price this year = Last year's price - Decrease in price

⇒ Price this year = 1,25,000 - 37,500

⇒ Price this year = 87,500

The price of the electric bike this year is Rs. 87,500.
