11 May 2012 The statement is creditors were reduced TO THE EXTENT of Rs. 1 lakh.

TO THE EXTENT means the amount of reduction.

If the statement was creditors were reduced TO Rs. 1 lakh, then the amount of reduction would have been Rs. 60,000.

Further 30% of the creditors were reduced TO THE EXTENT OF 30%.

So the amount of reduction will be 30% of 30%.

Suppose the total creditors are Rs. 1 lakhs.
30 % comes to Rs. 30,000.
Amount of reduction = 30,000*30%
or 1,00,000*30%*30% = Rs. 9,000.
