Answer
The given quantity $=850$ and decrease in the ratio $=17: 6$
The decreased quantity $=\frac{6}{17} \times 850=300$
Now, the quantity is decreased again in the ratio $=4: 3$
The resulting quantity $=\frac{3}{4} \times 300=225$
The decreased quantity $=\frac{6}{17} \times 850=300$
Now, the quantity is decreased again in the ratio $=4: 3$
The resulting quantity $=\frac{3}{4} \times 300=225$
