The value of a machine depreciates every year by 10%. If the present value of the machine is Rs 54000, what was its value last year?

Let the value of the machine last year be Rs x.Then, its present value=90% of Rs x
                                 =Rs x×90100=Rs 90x100
Now, 90x100=54000      x=54000×10090      x=Rs 60000
Hence, the value of the machine last year was Rs 60,000.
